Actualy I'd have a hard time deciding which is better: the Shard or the Arm.
The Shard's main advantage is the big life boost. It also has the mana boost , but the Arm has it too.
The Shard also has advantage of +1 extra summoing skills, but the Arm readily gives +3 skeletons, +3 skel /mage and +3 mastery. That's basicaly more summoning skills in favor of the Arm. The extra bonus for the golems and summon resist seem pretty trivial.
The Shard would give +1 extra curses, but for the most part that doesn't do that much.
The Shard gives 30% FHR (good), and a little life regen, which is practicaly useless.
The Arm gives an extra bonus to p/b skills.
So overall, I think the Shard is better for making your necro more durable and the Arm gives you a bigger army. If it lags really bad, I'd suppose the Shard would be better. Personally I use the Arm, but since I had a hard time figuring out which ones to use. The Shard is on weapon switch, and I do switch frequently.
I'd agree that too much mana is really unecessary especialy for this sort of build. :)

With great power comes the great need to blame other people.
