The cannibalize change is really nice for Undead casters. Since mana actually matters now, the ability to get some back (in both PvE and PvP) is really huge.
Can Cannibalize be used in combat? Because it actually might lead to Undead being very OP PvE healers for fights that have humanoid adds (and the corpses hang around). Put up PW:S and Renew, than chow down on a corpse to get 35% of your mana back. That's pretty huge, even if you can only do it once on that fight.

Cannibalize works exactly like a self bandage that requires standing on a humanoid/undead corpse. I find it useful as a quick free regen after killing someone in PvP, and because of the humor value of cannibalizing someone after you own him, not quite as great as the flag of ownership, but it works.
This isn't something you're going to use during combat in the way you describe. There's a self-sleep potion that puts you in self sleep and does a large mana+hp regen, nobody uses it.
You only use this during combat if your enemies are CC'd. For example with my warlock I have sometimes used cannibalize to regen after killing one enemy while the succubus is holding the other enemy. Works like having an extra bandage, it's better than the bandage in that it heals more.
