Cluster,
I've got a nova/orb sorc (level 80 odd) and her mana was a bit of a problem as I maxed nova as soon as I could. Best belt I reckon would be Gloom's Trap or Lenymo. I put a few levels in glacial spike as a left-clicky skill and snowclash helped with that but personally I wouldn't bother. Lenymo is pretty easy to find and I think there's still one on a mule.
Get a four socketed armour and bung perfect skulls in them. Socket your helm with one or more too. You can get rid of them later once the mana use isn't such a problem.
Good luck
Oops...................... You said boots! Not belt. Hee hee. Oh well, I'll leave the text in. Silkweave is quite nice - its what I use.
I need food. Brain dead.......

Que Hegan's (or whatever it's called) is better than Heavenly Garb (it's basically the advanced version), but yeah, go for silkweave - high def, and lots of mana. The other two uniques worth having a look at are war traellers (better for melee chars, but have stats and high MF on), or waterwalk (no mana, but extra life, max fire res, etc).

A most impressive kit.
Mind you, you realise of course that peasant crowns make your character look like a plonker, unless you're an assassin
I would suggest a +2/+3 skills circlet, or a 3-skulled socketed helm to feed your mana habit!
Have fun though - it's a great build to play, especially as you have to get in close for nova to be effective not like those cowardly hydra and firewall types!

Cull - nice idea with the teleport mate. Trouble is I've always been crap with it. With my first soreresses I would switch to teleport then forget and then target it right smack in a middle of a mob of monsters, thinking instead that I'm using something like hydra. Grinning wickedly at the anticipated devestation I then teleport in, right at their feet, panic for a while (this usually involves a lot of swearing, running around and frantic left clicking at the bad guys, .....thereby teleporting me back into the fray) before finally being turned into sushi.
So... I have an unnatural aversion to teleport. On hardcore this mistake only needs to happen once. Still, I think that this is more a reflection on me being a plonker, not on your strategy!

What!!? Mice have two buttons?!!
Nah, I keep the left button constantly on another elemental type attack (normally glacial spike) so that if I get spooked by ltng immune beasties I can still usually get away even if panicking and clicking everything in sight - the fact that the wheel on my mouse is clickable doesn't help either!

I was very pished off, and had to spend the rest of the day buying it all back, cost me about 7 sojs so im totally broke now, dont even have any to use, so its back to mf runs for me
Ive learnt my lesson, if u die, cut your losses and leg-it. Only ever been corpsepopped once before when doing magic find runs. Fortunatly there was noone else around to nick my items so i got them all back in the end that time
