One thing many people don't realize (and after writing this jut looking back at tuper's post) is just how good this hex is against bosses. All bosses have a natural half duration on hexes. Meaning that Wastels only lasts for 1.5 seconds on a boss before doing its damage, just enough time to recast. Throw this in PvP warriors who might be using the lieutenant's helm as well.
I used this to beat glint with my mesmer, and then when I went against her with my necro, just had offering of blood and wastels spamming the whole time. Even with her crystal haze which caused all the exaustion, switched to a higher energy item, spammed and offered constantly...dead.
It doesn't seem to have as many uses in pve versus normal mobs, but can be devastating against bosses.
