Actually lvl 1 bloodmage with rod is the same as lvl 2 bloodmages, and almsot the same as lvl2 bloodmage with rod, as it is clear from this formula.

So as long as you have lv1 bloodmages armed with rods, you are fine.

Yes, I can see how this would be the case. The formula is such that the law of diminishing returns applies. A lvl2 mage is almost twice is good as a lvl1, but a lvl3 is only 1.5 as good as a lvl2, and a lvl4 only 1.3 as good as the lvl3, etc. So a lvl1 mage with a sanguine rod looks to be just about perfect in terms of getting the most blood for the least investment.

But seeing as how this was right at the beginning of the game and my mages do not have the rods yet, lvl2 is definitely the way to go.
