Weapon and Skill Details
Dagger is our cleave weapon atm, despite the low damage compared to axe, the final sum is higher due the attack speed.
Blood is Power give the party a good 8s +8% damage, remember to use it only when under 25 stacks, other professions mights usually have higher duration.
DS will be used only to proc traits, AoE or survival, but with all life leech that we have this will happen rarely,Life siphon heals a lot now 2.5k~4k
You may prefer Signet of Vampirism as your heal, and for a low DPS increment, personally I don't like the cast time. IMO Well of Blood have a better synergy with this build.

-Barbed Precision to proc Blood Bond

-Vampiric Rituals, awesome trait, reduce our well's CD, give us life and provides allies protection on cast, great party support.
-Furious Demise, remember flash DS for 5s fury

-Weakening Shroud, weakness to decrease the damage received, proc when you flash DS to get fury from Furious Demise
Variations:
-Rending Shroud over Chill of Death
-Quickening Thirst over Blood Bond, I really like this move speed bonus
-Banshee's Wail over Vampiric Presense, for better rotation between the weapons
-You can get Transfusion over Vampiric Rituals if needed for the party.
With Soul Reaping Spec we would get 5% more damage from Strength of Undeath, but the traits from curses have better synergy with this build.
