Don't "try" and stack mp5, but if it's on gear, it's not garabage. i figured minus the throughput you get from the extra healing (which isn't that much at 33% over 31% crit). 14mp5 = 1% crit for regen during the largest mana drain possible (1.3 second hl spams without cooldowns). so, if u have a gear piece the all the same stats, but one has 25mp5, and one has 42 crit rating, the mp5 piece is best. mp5 from crit only goes down the less hl you spam. mp5 from mp5 always stays the same.
but again, large mana pool = more replen, more mana tide, more divine plea mana so mp5 from gear isn't something you need to worry about stacking.
