Your overuse of ellipses hinders readability. Consider using punctuation that's actually, you know, correct, in the future. Thanks.

Yep. It makes you wonder why the hell they didn't just give us a stat-stick. Maybe something in the Sigil(Relic) code that requires it to modify a spell and not simply add stats? Either way, it's absurd.

About blood tanking with Blood Gorged... you're right... most Blood tanks stop at 47 (filling out the 40-level), and then use the remainder of the points to grab 2% STR/STA from unholy (Blood Sarth+3 MT), or Annihilation/Lichborne (Normal Blood Tank). Unless you have nearly best-in-slot, sta-gemmed gear everywhere, you're gonna be cutting the 50k breaths pretty damn close (even with WotN)... so that extra 2% health can help give you a buffer so you can save your cooldowns for the 70k breaths.

Edit: about no-diseases... remember, the problem is that we're tanks, and we need to keep FF up on the mobs if someone else isn't already doing it. Now, the blood rotation - IT-PS-HS-HS-OB|IT-PS-HS-HS-HS-HS will work without Annihilation, and it keeps your disease up *most* of the time... but be careful, don't ruin mitigation in favor of a bit of threat or EH.
