K, I haven't been sure which line i was really sold on for the SK EoF aa's. I had been all down the hateline just because. Until last week when my guild asked me to tank
The Corsolander mob that has a dmg shield to melee, so i stepped up and respeced to get Reaver. It went well, but i couldn't really tell if it made a difference. So last night i parsed a run through Obelisk of Blight. I two-box with my 70 Inquisitor. Both characters are mostly mastered and mostly fabled gear, so i figured that would be a good spot to test the new Reaver healing. Bottom line is, I healed myself for half of the damage I took on the night. I'm sure numbers might be a little different with a sole dedicated healer, but I thought it was an interesting parse. And what is more convincing, Reaver Mania was over 50% of my total heals. If I'm reading this right, I think Reaver should be up there when choosing AA's just like the INT line was up there for the Crusader class because of the Spell Crit. Let me know what you think...

Ok, so I want to put this edit in because I posted an update on the numbers below, but I don't want to misinform people if they don't read down farther. Here is the update copied.
Alright, so i'm going over the numbers, and ACT seems to not list the dmg portion of reaver, just the heal (If someone has advice on this please let me know). So I have to estimate on time spent fighting. Total time in combat was 37.24 which equates to about 748 tics of damage. I was at roughly 9500hp in our group, so you can figure each tic was 95hp. So total dmg taken from Reaver was 71,060. So here's an update on the parse info for the night. Not quite as awe inspiring as the original post, but still imo the best SK aa tree to take.
70 SK - Nirmoc - 258,305 - 46.7% (Adjusted Heals by Nirmoc - 187,245 - 38.9%)
Damage taken from Reaver - 71,060
70 INQ - Noqulin - 294,555 - 61.1%
Total Healed - 552,860 (Adjusted Total Healed w/o Reaver dmg - 481,800)
Nirmoc - 70SK Heal Parse - Obelisk of Blight - 01/07/07
Reaver Mania 137,720 - (Total Damage minus persistent HP Cost - 66660 - 13.9%)
Putrid Coil 29492
Drain Vitae 29188
Grim Strike 24330
Tap 21191
Voracious Soul 9237
