Notes
Because of the Cultivation racial, Tauren players need an additional 15 skill points to learn each rank, as indicated in the rank table.
Lifeblood does not trigger the global cooldown when used and can be cast while all other abilities are on global cooldown. It cannot however be used while using any ability that has a casting time.
Talents and abilities that increase healing taken, such as 
[Demon Armor] and 
[Quick Recovery] will increase the healing done by Lifeblood.
Using Lifeblood does not break 
[Stealth] or 
[Prowl] when used, but the ability causes flowers to grow around the feet of the character. This may alert enemies to your presence.
Lifeblood cannot be dispelled by any means.
Talent improvement
Lifeblood currently benefits from a shaman's 
[Purification] talent, though this could be a bug.
Tips and tactics
Lifeblood can greatly reduce downtime when leveling for classes that do not have any healing spells, making Herbalism an excellent profession while grinding.
Warlocks can use 
[Life Tap] to turn health into mana, and then cast Lifeblood to quickly restore the lost health. This way Lifeblood can be utilized to restore the warlock's mana.
While the health restored is fairly minor at very high levels, it is a very powerful ability when used at lower levels. The ability will often heal for more than than the character's maximum health, making it an excellent tool for surviving in emergencies.
