Was wondering if someone or a dev could tell me the reasoning why this is different than Reaping or DRM. +15% to blood strike is really abysmal on an ability that accounts for ~5% of my total damage. I'd really like it to be a 3 point blood -> death rune talent like the other trees and be able to put 2 points somewhere else.

Blood of the North was the first of the Death Rune talents we implemented, largely to fill a hole in the deep Frost tree. At the time it needed to be 5 points or Frost had to backtrack a lot in order to go deeper.

But the other two trees ended up with cheaper versions of the talent and Frost has changed so much that I don't know that it needs to be 5 points any longer. This is something we might look at for 3.1.
