Unchained/Inner Release + Steel Cyclone self-healing honestly did for dungeons about all that Bloodbath did, and roughly the same (just more burstily) for raids if we actually somehow needed that extra healing.

Nascent started too restrictive. You HAD to cast it on a party member.
At the time, you also didn't lose any personal healing for doing so. It's just that not casting it on an ally, even after that change, wasted half the healing. But it was certainly unnecessarily clunky.

The issue isn't that WAR became a better DRK, it's that DRK became a worse DRK.
But, yeah. This.
