It's like two 100% guaranteed Runic Empowerment procs every 1 minute. No more wasted Blood Taps on Death Runes, no more need to wait Blood Runes on cd to use it "optimally" by usually wasting few seconds. This will make Haste less valuable due to GCD capping, but it will increase the value of Crit/Mastery. This theory needs in-depth testing on the PTR, which atm is impossible to do, because the launcher is currently bugged. It wasn't even properly possible before, because as you know, Runes were broken for the most part in the previous PTR builds. I will test it when possible. Feedback is welcome.
