Bloodbath - DID SOMEONE SAY ALL THE HEALING? Because bloodbath is still GOOD against single target and multi target (thank you salty earth).
Mercy Stroke - DPS INCREASE! Don't knock it till you try it, that extra dps is always helpful and it's potency is pretty good.
Fracture - ONLY GOOD if you have an extra GCD between combos and Scourge reapplications and you're using blood weapon.


But that's 5(6?) options for 4 slots!

Fracture has always been a DPS loss on PLD, and now DRK. It's not the improved Fracture that WARs get; it's the base 18sec Fracture.
