Bloodtheft enchant making a comeback?

I've noticed some high item-level people swapping out their negations, ignoring the new shadowclad (which I think kind of sucks for PVE) and are wearing trans bloodtheft.
So erm...what don't I know? Did the amount of life steal go up for the necrotic damage? I saw one on the AH for 2m and almost bought it. But that 30 second IDC doe...
Why is it relevant for PVE?

    Maybe because of the insignia bonus power Vampire's Craving:
    Whenever you perform a Life Steal you are healed for 3% of your maximum Hit Points over 4 seconds.

    i guess you saw that guy too... he is spamming from 8 hours or so...he probably just likes the look of it.

    Blood and lifedrinker are great for a specific line of SW setups.

    I like the look - the animation is maxed at Perfect. I had Negation before it was in vogue too - again because it just looked cool on a DC. I do hope it's making a return. It's been valued pathetically below cost for the LONGEST time.

    A friend of mine uses it because it goes with his outfit.

    ppl can afford using it as powercreep is over the roof ;)
    Please fix Zhentarim Warlock companion's skill "Arcane Warping" to the originally intended "Arcane Boost"

    Pure -> Transcendent Plague Fire weapon enchantment giving 80damge/20 seconds for 500k+ AD is a joke.

    Normal Bloodtheft is the best looking - Greater is ok... but Perfect just makes you look like Pigpen after a trip to Georgia.

    For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about:

    It looks the same as it did mods ago. It doesn't explain why I see so many high IL people switching to it all of a sudden.

    I did some googling and found some threads/vids about the 'Bloodtheft Enchantment Bug'. That's more likely the culprit then nifty looks.

    Huh - a bug. Well, that would make sense. I'll see if I can dig up what that is so I can get a report in.
