If this is still being discussed, don't you remember killing Dracoliche back in the day, or venril sathir? How did you kill them? How did you survive that NASTY NASTY high proc rate lifetap ?
You chain rune'd. There was a bug even, if you had a rune on (even Shield of Songs from bard), the damage wouldn't carry through, so the 1200 lifetap it procced, as long as you had a rune on, even a 40 point one from shield of songs, it'd absorb the spell entirely and you would actually survive.
But that bug aside, this is from a loooooooong time ago pre-luclin when they did a massive revamp on spell buffs (remember when bards would cast something and it always stack? e.g. dain hammer casted by a bard would stack with focus? haha), and I do believe current live still utilize rune absorbing spell dmg. Unless, when spell shield being implemented they decided they would split the purposes...
Thought I'd share, even if it isn't too useful.
