As the tooltip is not quite clear on some areas of the spell, I've made some pointers here to help out with any potential questions.

When you use the ability, you take 10% of your HP as damage which can then be healed back up.
While not mentioned, this does have a duration. When you use the ability, you get the buff with a 15 second duration. Using it again refreshes the duration up to 15 seconds.

Hope this helped.

Don't let the good name "Death Wish" deludes you. It's not that glorious as it used to be

You need to constantly reapply the buff. To make it to 10 stacks you will need at least 45 seconds. That's a lot of time in real battle
The buff takes 5% of your HP. When out of combat you won't be able to heal yourself back to full HP and you will melt in time with no heals on you. Or you have to waste time for food which is pointless
Even in battle you will constantly be in disadvantage losing 5% HP every 5 seconds
When arena starts you will lose this buff, so it's pretty useless unless you have enough time to apply it again. Ugh...
The buff triggers Global Cooldown, so no fancy macros to play around it. And you will have to waste time in battle to reapply
You need to constantly reapply it to not lose it. So no mounts on BG for you :(
You need to constantly reapply the buff. Did I mention it? The buff has 15 second duration so you only have window in 10 seconds to not lose it. That is really small. You basically have about 10 seconds to do something. After that your main focus will be on applying buff again
Did you get hard CC? Too bad. You will lose your precious buff. And boy I tell ya this happens all the time in real battle
Not enough? Now you have stacking damage debuff on you up to 50%. So you will fall very quickly if you get focused

If you can deal with all of it or have constant pocket healer, you will deal massive damage like Warrior should do

New hotfix to this spell:
Death Wish can no longer be cancelled. This was your wish.

Here's how to use this talent while leveling:

Step 1 => Get the 3 piece heirloom set bonus Battlefield Resourcefulness
Step 2 => Macro this ability to Charge and Taunt (both off the GCD)
Step 3 => Press your Charge or Taunt macros every less than 15 seconds
Step 4 => Congratulations now you have permanent 50% damage boost while leveling

While traveling medium/long distances you can let the buff fall off so you don't have to dismount every 15 seconds

To be honest this "strategy" is the only one that doesn't make this talent absolutely worthless.
