Rather than having to chose between the two (or not using them at all, which appears to be the overwhelming case), have a single gem that regenerates both health and mana.  If that is too OP, then drop the regen rating a little.

[ultramus]

Makes sense to me. Perhaps actually have it so you can fuse the existing two into a new gem.

 

Since we are on the topic of less usefull gems, Zirconia should add a small amount of haste since foot speed is less important now that mounts have arrived.

in all honesty...make the tourmaline be health and mana regen...even a perfect with those regen rates it's useless...soo its not a big deal. then take the aquamarine and make it the haste gem

[ernzor]

Nah make aqua a dodge gem...

 spinel-dodge gem (this blend of red and black...looks bad ass...just saying..and sins need to look extra bad ass!)

Olivine-its a dual shade of green and brown and resembles the color comb to the peridot being very similar in color to signify its defensiveness for the game making this a perfect candidate to be the armor gem

Sure, why not. Anything to make them more desirable.

[ernzor]

yes, I will gladly wear a spinel gem

How about some Heroic Runes with more unique procs.  Knockdown, Sleep, Anti-Haste...

About proc gems. According to classes here.

sin- Proc to bleed x% of attack power.

warrior- Proc to increase critical stike chance [as critical strike isnt implemented on bleeds i think, this wont go unbalacing stuff]

prophet-proc to increase healing power

tank-proc to increase health 

mage/range- Proc to knock back 5 surrounding enemies!

Interesting idea, needs some tweaking.  I can't see any mage/ranger taking knockback over the sin or warrior gems.

You need knocknock back to get the melee away from you [which melee is useless from ranged].

A talent could be added "when everyou knock back a enemy it stuns them for 3seconds]

There you go a OP use of the gem.

[ernzor]

I would take that knock back as a tank for sure!

I think we may be looking at it from PvE vs. PvP sides.  I was thinking about PvE, where the mobs should never get that close (unless I'm solo and trying to group them for vines/storm).  In both cases knockback is not the best spell.  Here bleed (for kiting) or more crit (faster kills) are much more appealing.

 

In PvP a knockback with stun, especially when I'm silenced, could make all the difference.  I might even find myself blessing Fleetfoot as I run away.

 

This is one reason balancing both PvP and PvE is so difficult.  Besides the issue of talent selection, there's also gear and gem selection.

[xpwaste]

yep. just a suggestion.
