Nope. Synergies do not gain any benefit from skill points. Not sure about the wolf/bear synergy, as it was around pre-1.10.
Also, since vulpine occurs, if I am correct, after energy shield, 100% damage taken goes to mana wouldn't be enough at 1:1. Lets assume 75% energy shield, at a 1:1 ratio, 100 damage, and 100% damage taken goes to mana. You lose 25 life and 75 mana. You then gain 25 mana back from that life you lost, giving -25 life and -50 mana. So, what you really need at 75% mana shield is 300% damage taken goes to mana if you want to lose nothing. At a 3:4 mana to life ratio, using all the other stats the same, you lose 25 life and 61.5 mana. 25 mana is refunded, giving a grand total of -25 life and -36.5 mana. You'd need 256% damage taken goes to mana to end up with no mana loss.
