Bleeding Duration too short for skill cost

Suggestion

Lengthen bleeding duration for skill

This is a very good and powerful skill but doesn't find use because warriors want to use stances. Stances are better than inflicting bleeding.

Suggestion

Give it some other form of conditional thingy. "If you are/are not suffering from a hex/condition " or something.. The "if you are suffering from a hex" would give an edge over melee shutdowns. "If you are suffering from a condition" part has synergy with skills like Headbutt and comforts when suffering from weakness or cripple.

The skill itself is moderate. The damage increase would be good for any swordsman, but the requirement to grant bleeding isn't all that great. Even if it could grant bleeding unconditionally, it would still be obsolete in comparison with other bleeding skills, namely Sever Artery.

Suggestion

Give the skill a different condition. Why not deep wound. Make it similar to Dismember. Damage would NOT be required as deep wound is considered as a powerful condition. Not only would this enhance the PvE and PvP use of this skill, it would give it a use while allowing warriors to use a stance.
