Life Tap charges on switch, nothin' greater. They'll even help you get through the "non-leech" areas of the game.

It's possible that I just never killed myself that way because I always have very high life and/or damage reducion. I play HC, so I'd know if I managed to kill myself. I do however, always have a very high amount of life for my level, and perhaps this just didn't come up for me.
And yes, lifetap definitely allows you to things you could never do without it. It's pure gold on a smiter as well.
