Blood Magic on PvE has very limited uses: Orders, BiP or Farm.
making a damage dealer blood magic is bad, you'll be very weak, if you want to play orders necro with some offensive skills, I suggest something like this

[Order of the Vampire][Masochism][Blood Ritual][Ancestor's Rage][Splinter Weapon][Optional][Optional][Death Pact Signet]

[awaken the blood][icy veins][vampiric swarm][enfeebling blood][oppressive gaze][signet of lost souls][glyph of lesser energy][blood ritual]

Could replace BR with [mindbender] for faster faster casting or [flesh of my flesh] if you really think it's necessary for PvE. Pop off Icy Veins every 5 seconds for additional AoE damage~

Boogz' build is on the right track. I would replace Ancestor's with Great Dwarf Weapon or Nightmare Weapon (if you have no PvE skills.) Ebon Battle Standard of Honor should of course also be added then. Gift3d's build is pretty awful. The best way for a Blood Magic user to see lots of pretty numbers in PvE is to go SV, look in the sticky for a couple of suggestions.

(PS the Orders build should have a self heal, you don't want to make things overly annoying for your monks.)

[Spoil Victor]

There's your good Blood Magic damage skill, my number one favorite skill in the game. Cast it on any boss, watch it die. Fun, fun, fun. When you're fighting enemies with less HP, use stuff like [blood ritual] on monks to keep them happy, [order of pain] to make your warriors do more damage.
[blood renewal] is an excellent self-heal to fuel your health sacrifices.

When not supporting the party or ripping bosses to shreds, you can chuck the occasional [blood of the aggressor]... No one will notice...

I understand that you want a damage build and not just support.
well, I like blood skills bcause they are spammable and fun.
I use [life siphon] and then [necrosis] and [vampiric gaze]. by the time I finished all 3 I can throw in [signet of lost souls] and finish with another [necrosis].
in the elite slot put whatever you like - [well of power] if you want to support your mates.

of course that after the recent buff you should use [life transfer] !

[awaken the blood] for 2 more points in blood and you have 2 more slots, depends on your secondary. I take ranger for [antidote signet] (description is incorrect) and a rez, or any low-cost mesmer hex like [shrinking armor] + [cry of pain].
