it's actually a fairly close run thing.
if you look at the mana graphs from simcraft you see that 0/13/58 (the imp. soul leech build) does need to LT occasionally and, as such, the decision of whether to use the glyph or not comes down to a comparison of which gives the biggest return, immo or LT.
the tipping point differs depending on gear with the LT glyph becoming less desirable as gear improves.
essentially though, if life tapping just for the buff will leave you with more mana than you need then a) you don't want to LT just for the glyph and b) it might be worth looking at a different glyph.
the other thing that is rarely looked into much is that the LT glyph performs very well on long fights (over 4mins) and very well on short fights (20-30seconds) but does much worse on fights in between.
what i mean by this is that:
-in a 20 second fight you can LT(rank1) as the fight begins and have the buff all throughout combat.
-in a 1minute fight you will have to waste 2 GCDs to refresh the glyph's buff when there is no chance that your mana would actually deplete in the 1 minute time frame.
-in a 5 minute fight you know you will run out of mana later so you can start LTing early, maintaining a good uptime on the buff and only giving you as much mana as you need.
i'm not really drawing any useful conclusions here just some food for thought ^^
