As gekko mentions, zeal is probably just as good a solution. Venegance is to huge a mana drain to be effective against PI packs, not to mention mana burn/drain monsters. Gulping potions will of course help, but is not always viable.
The good thing about maxing convitcion is of course that it is also effective against non PI's and its great for flashing together with fanatism. Just use conviction untill you see the monsters have the green aura under them. Then swtich to fanatism and zeal away. Bstar + tiamats and maybe a couple of elemental dammage charms (arching small charms for example) are great for killing of PI's while not draining your mana. Id say max conviction, put a point in venegance if u want to test it, but dont maximize it, you wont use it all that much.
