One of the priests I frequently party with has Vampiric Embrace. From the viewpoint of the Rogue, it's been a helpful spell so far. If we're in an area where the enemies can do some AoE damage, I'm taking some damage from that. If I get two crits in a row, it's really easy to pull aggro off a tank. A Feint usually fixes that, but in the mean time I'm getting hit once or twice. Vampiric Embrace allows me to be healed in these cases, without the Priest having to focus on me to make sure I'm okay. This also helps because when Things Go Wrong, generally all but one person is fully healed from any damage they may have taken throughout the battle. It's easier to get out of trouble if you don't start down 300 hitpoints.
Trade yourself in for the perfect one. No one needs to know that you feel you've been ruined!
