Let's assume 600 life on hit and average frenzy hits of 25k (including crits of course) and see how much life steal you'd need to heal for equal the amount per hit using just Frenzy.
Life steal is reduced to 20% of its amount in Inferno.
Life on hit is reduced to about 80% of its amount while using Frenzy. Basically, the more targets an ability hits, the less healing from LoH it produces.
Using the 600 LoH you'd get 600 * 0.8 = 480 HP each hit.
Using life steal you would need:
25000 * x * 0.2 = 480
5000 * x = 480
x = 0.096 == 9.6 % life steal (needed to heal for 480 HP each hit)
9.6% seems much compared to the 600 you could get with just 1 socket on a weapon.

I must say I'm impressed, ty I'll be going back to my old spear. (Though I am debating it with another peice now with that as the case, but I can do the leg work on that one.) Thank you again guys for the input.
Weapons are the biggest thing: for example that later spear I'm using now when in my main set I'm at-- 18 k or so? Two weps that dmg average mid 800's rocks. But don't just buy weps on high dmg. If I had to suggest atm (as with this patch, and note it will get nerfed here soon enough) crit hit chance and dmg mixed in with your others stats ya' need makes a differnce. I'm a die hard attack speed stacker personally for my classic frenzy d2 build I try to stick by (I just love hitting fast). Really just about balancing between gear or spells how much tougher you are, or how much more pain ya' cause. Hell I hit hard but getting my ass wiped by Ghom (but that's the beauty of farming that will follow). But that's my two cents.
Hey guys, I find myself in quite a bind here.. I'm about 991 life on hit with my barb duel-weild. Skimming on act 3, and just about to where I'm gonna start raising more dmg into the mix with my survial as well. And I really am woundering when will I get more out of Life steal rather than Lph (as with the new patch high dmg seems to be a seriously good way to go once you got all that ehp (effective health pool) ya' need).
My debate more so is on two weapons right now:
First being the spear I'm using right now,
(281-532dmg) 487.8 dmg 1.20 base attack speed
43 str
214 vit
391 lph (plus a socket, peaking at 691 with my current gem).
My second in turn:
(486-914dmg) 840.0 dmg 1.20 base attack speed
crit hit dmg increase 51%
2.30% life steal
and finally socket (making 300 lph)
So-- my big debate: 2.30% life steal or 391 lph (disregarding other stats above I suppose more or less, can be discussed later if desired but this is my big question.)? How much dmg would vary that 2.30 better than the 391?
I wanted to say Fury-- but I gotta say Hatred/Discipline just seems a very clever spin imo, I'm gonna unleash Hell itself on you as you did on me, and now I'll show you what kind of training the Demon-hunter can do with such prowess. /nod Very cool
