    A very tricky question indeed, if I ever saw one.
    After elaborating all possible angles that come to mind, I would think the best possible answer is this:

    It depends on your build, and an your current gear and enchants. And on your play style.

    I'd go lifesteal. Just because . . . :)

    All depends on your gear and build. If you, for example, solo a lot, use a healer companion and have a lot of regen - go with incoming healing. It just all depends.

    I was under the impression that incoming heal includes life steal as it heals you. So with that said, 10% is greater than 3%. I may be wrong though, so if someone would clarify that would be great.

    thats with 100% life steal, usually ppl have ~10% lifesteal you hit 10 000, lifesteal gives you 1 000. 1000 * 0.1 = 100 so you get 1 000 + 100 = 1100, with additional 3% lifesteal you would get 1300, that heal increase would work better for tanks/regen

    Is it Tyranny boon ? If yes I'd obviously take +5% critical severity. And 5% critical severity also applies your actual lifesteal ... 3% is clearly not a lot ... Just get lifesteal enchant or Corrupt. BI if you feel you need lifesteal.

    On Combat HRs, I'd have to say +10% incoming healing. Reason being they can hit over 30% lifesteal pretty easily and it'll also boost their Wild's Medicine.

    As for every other class, I'm really not that sure. You need to have a decent amount of incoming healing sources for it to be worth it.

    life steal for sure, the only thing you need to do for it is dps the healing requires some other healing to be effective.

    For most DCs it would be incoming healing .. for DPS CWs, and TRs, Life Steal....for everyone else...uh, it depends ;)
    Hoping for improvements...

    Are you all sure incoming healing applies to lifesteal? Or self-regenerating effects for that matter? Mistakes do happen, but I doubt that devs would make a boon choice where you get 2 same boons. If incoming healing affects lifesteal, and is greater than 3%, what is the point of the other boon even existing?

    I have been wondering this myself. I do not believe Lifesteal is affected by incoming healing bonus. Is anyone able to confirm this?

    some other threads here

    all of which seem to say incoming healing bonus does affect lifesteal and regen, incoming healing from other players (companions as well I guess) but doesn't affect potions.

    10% incoming will improve all healing (except potion use), it's the obvious choice.

    I am still not convinced that lifesteal counts as "healing" with respect to that boon.

    If it did, it would be an absolute waste to choose the lifesteal boon because the incoming healing boon would always be the better choice.

    for pve dps classes 3% lifesteal is about 2~3x better

    you need 30%+ lifesteal or regen/run with clerics for heal to be better

    when i pve as gwf i couldnt give a f about inc healing since about all my healing comes from lifesteal(unless its some fight where i need restoring for heal)

    for pvp inc healing would be better

    pretty sure it was proved in a thread somewhere that incoming healing bonuses do not effect life steal.

    Incoming healing includes lifeSteal, so it's like you have 10% more lifeSteal. That's already better than the LifeSteal bonus. Plus the regen, the lifedrink, the healing boons, the xvim set and so on.

    Reguarding the opinion that 10% healing bonus is straight better than +3% lifesteal:
    Ignoring other healing sources you need 30% life steal before +10% healing bonus will be more extra healing than +3% life steal. GL with that.

    All that said, the 10% healing bonus is for non-life steal synergy.

    To clarify as others have said incoming healing applies to all healing but potions and soulforge.

    This includes lifesteal, regen, cleric, sw and pet heals.

    It all depends on what they mean with their cryptic, deceiptive "+3% life steal". Let's say you have 1000 Life steal and it gives you a 10% of your damage in heal.
    If "+3% life steal" means your LS is now 1030, then the gain in terms of incoming heal is almost zero.
    If "+3% life steal" means you're still at 1000 but the damage converted into heal is now 13%, then it becomes significant.
