From 2 mana per damage absorbed (at no base points in telekinesis) absorbed to .75.
Quote:30 synergy/20 mastery(based off +10 skills) gives fireball +730% damage, and meteor +255% damage, whereas 21 synergy and 29 mastery only gives fireball +712% damage and meteor 245% damage
Synergy and mastery are multiplicative. However, I really don't get how you're calculating those values.
30 synergy, 20 mastery gives +1,268% to fireball and +558% to meteor.
21 synergy, 29 mastery gives +1,184% to fireball and +568% to meteor.
In the situation you describe, fireball ideally wants 25 synergy, 25 mastery, while meteor ideally wants the the 21 synergy, 29 mastery. The more +skills you have, though, the more investments you'll want in synergies instead of mastery.

Except that it the damage taken goes to mana property only applies to physical damage. So any elemental damage would be devastating to your mana pool. Especially in hell, a whole lot of monsters deal elemental damage.
