Except it's not a waste. Pop Dark Arts+Dark Dance, use Abyssal Drain without the Dark Arts. If enough things are hitting you, you CAN pop Blood Price since you should in theory be getting hit at least 80% of the time which is more than enough to benefit from the skill. Usually I pull at least 5 things so if I am getting hit 4/5 times, Blood Price is still worth using. Granted it's not as powerful as it could be, but that little bit of mana I am not gaining in exchange for the amount of damage I am mitigating is not a big deal. Since there is no scenario where healing an amount of damage is worth more than mitigating a larger amount, Dark Arts Abyssal Drain is a huge waste on anything that can be dodged, period.
