DRK QOL changes for 5.4

On a different note...can we change Abyssal Drain into a buff that gives us HP drain on all our attacks for 20-30s? Using Essence of the Bloodsucker in Bozja is so incredible, it feels like it fits the DRK kit way too well and should be implemented via Abyssal Drain. Plus...its current iteration is a joke, it only helps in AoE and sucks for single target. Changing it this way makes it actually usable in single-target or multi-target situations.

Abyssal Drain only ever helped in AoE in prior iterations.

You never used it against a single target.

We could spam it back then. Now it's just a single use and it's out of commission for 60s.

6.0 will see AD (and salted earth) removed to "reduce button bloat." that or it just gets a trait to add a charge to it like plunge. *shrug*
Plus lIfEsTeAl Is WaR's GiMmIcK. and TBF lifesteal in bozja feels great on every job that can get it.
humor though, if DRK were to get lifesteal i'd rather see blood price return for that. 45s recast, 20s duration, damage dealt restores a portion of health, and for shiggles and personal want add in some jank mitigation, like 15% parry/dodge increase.
