a very very interesting note about rend.

"And to provide another example, here’s what we’re doing with Rend:

Weapon damage increased from 210% over 3 seconds to 700% over 5 seconds"

let's just consider 50k dps with 1.7 attacks/sec. which will give 29.4k average dmg/hit

For Rend+Blood Lust
29.4k (35.3k Frenzy+Maniac) * 700%*9%*25%(inferno LL nerf) will give  4.6k (5.5k) heal per unit hit
Not sure what's the coefficient(if any) for multiple units hit.

A very very good replacement for revenge + provocation for high dmg/low hp barbs. Crazy life % heal

If you are running low dps high hp, revenge should still be the de-facto choice.

Not sure if i'm applying flawed logic here or not lol

Added on August 16, 2012, 12:52 pmrend wasn't viable previously because at 210% weapons dmg, it's only 1.4k (1.6k) heal per mob hit lol

quite excited to try it out. mmmmm
barb will be harder to kill now
