How does the number "balloon" in multi-target situations?

edit: just to clarify, I'm not arguing the effectiveness of BB vs MS stroke on single target. On a DRK doing 1200 dps they can get roughly the equivalent of a cure/physic/benefic back meaning the healer can get 1 more "free" dps cast in, which outweighs the 200 potency of mercy stroke.

Assuming a DRK is facing 3 or more targets, their DPS starts to go up a lot, and Bloodbath goes from a guaranteed healing potency floor of 256 potency per use to 360 potency per use (assuming you have Blood Price available and don't use something that increases your Evasion chance). 4 targets goes to 480 potency, and it only gets higher as you have more enemies you can hit--and all this in addition to your autoattack.
