But it only restores half the mana cost of the
first
stack.
Nope it restores half the mana cost for all stack up to 3 stacks.

this
1 stack (1mana) = 1 bloom + 1/2 mana
2 stacks (2mana) = 2xbloom + 1 mana
3 stacks (3mana) = 3xbloom + 1 1/2 mana
roll a 4th stack (4mana) = 3xbloom + 1 1/2 mana
so the most efficient way to use LBs (assuming the bloom never overheals) is to roll up to 3 stacks, but only refresh the stack to when there's only 1 tick left (leaving it to the last moment), then let it bloom.
eg. ("-" = tick)
LB - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -|
LB - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -|BLOOM and start again
LB - - - - - - - -|

clearcasting lets you cast the LB for free but you still get have the mana cost back aka free healing and mana regen.

How does clearcasting and lifebloom mana return work then,
It works the same as most other similar mechanics, and simply returns mana based on what you would have paid for the spell, had it not been free. So if you get an OoC proc and no one needs healing, you can use it on a Lifebloom to regain some mana. Of course, if no one needs healing for that long then you probably don't need to worry about mana anyway due to the 5SR...

For pretty much any fight ever, yes. My point was that the only time you don't have anything useful to spend your Clearcast on is when you don't need to cast anything for at least 15 seconds, and if you don't need to cast anything for 15 seconds then mana won't be an issue anyway since you'll be OO5SR most of that time, making the "use OoC for Lifebloom" trick fairly useless if you weren't going to cast Lifebloom anyway.

oh, you're absolutely right, i was just having a grumble over (what is ostensibly) the loss of the 5SR as a mechanic. it gave us an extra element to the gameplay on mana heavy fights.
