Dark Empathy is a L8 spell. It's a 30 point reverse lifetap for 20 mana.
It's actually pretty effective if you don't have a healer and are below
L20. Just bandage everyone to 50%, then use bandages to keep your health
at 50% as you heal others well past the halfway mark. Next combat, a few
lifetaps and you're well again. Shadow compact is L20 and a much better
version. 10 mana, 20 points per tick reverse lifetap for 4 ticks.
Between this and allure of death, prepare to use a lot of bandages.

Neither of these are new. The new spells are a L12 lifetap DOT, a L44
heart flutter upgrade, and a couple of very inefficient mana-giveaway
spells.

Oh, and to make up for the 33% decrease in pet damage throughout your
entire career, the L44 and L49 pets cast a wimpy lifetap.
