A dog hits 1 thing at a time.
Bears hit the entire pack.
There is zero comparison trust me already tested it.
My base dps is 155k and it buffs to over 250k with sh/gf because my base int is so high. At high dps, leeching beasts give a significant amount of hp. Also regen from gear, health globes and GI provide plenty of additional hp.
Reflect isn't a problem because I can down them in a few seconds while still in spirit walk. I wouldn't trade high dps for lifesteal on weapon because I don't ever die and lower dps would slow me down considerably. For high mplvl reflect dmg, I plan on using healing voodoo and/or horrify armor rune.
If I could afford a similar weapon with lifesteal then I would get it but the prices are just way out of my range.
