Dark Regeneration increases its own healing by 25%?

Comment by dakseg

It heals me for 42% of my hp, which is 30%*1.1(Blood Pact)*1.25(+healing) = 41.25%

Does not work with Grimoire of Sacrifice (+20% hp is not considering), just 32% healing.
BUT Grimoire of Sacrifice + Shadow Bulwark (void ability which you can use while void is sacrificed) work as well, 57% healing from all this tons of hp! Unbelievable. Maybe it's a bug =)

Macro with other healing abilities for best effect:

#showtooltip
/cast Dark Regeneration
/use Healthstone
/use Healing Potion
and whatever else you have.

Imo this is the best choice on the tier, as it's an oh-^&*! button that can save your life. Soul Leech will overheal as healers insist on keeping people at 100%, Harvest Life means you're not using your other abilities - this one is a big heal when you need it.

Comment by leaderavia

while Soul Leech is a passive form of damage reduction and favorable in most cases, Dark Regen is sometimes favorable. in pvp, it is an on-demand healing cd. in certain raid encounters, the soul leech shield is constantly whittled away and then unavailable for a massive damage spike. also, the shield only lasts 15 seconds, which seems long, but fights that have inherent dps downtime can let a big shield fall off. i always switch to Dark Regen on H Ji-Kun because the cds are needed only for Quills, and stuff like hatchling attacks and Caw are always happening.

Heals demon also, so can come in useful if you find yourself using the VW as an improvised tank in lower level dungeons while waiting for a new tank and you need him alive for that extra bit longer.
