This bug has been fixed on the PC. Disregard!
Have recently been playing around with the new Leeching Strikes and have run into some serious issues with it.
1; Ranks I-III (or at least rank 3) do not grant the explosion of Stamina back after the duration. It would be wise to test if the same bug is applying to Siphoning Attacks from Ranks I-III, but I do not have access to a toon who has not already fully leveled the skill.FIXED
2; Holding block and dealing
Direct Damage with Leeching Strikes active triggers a "hit" and consumes Stamina (or Magicka if using an Ice Staff and 1 point of Tri Focus active). As if the Nightblade tank wasn't dead enough from the absolute gutting of Siphoning Attacks, now it can't even use the Stamina return morph, Leeching Strikes. This bug is not there with Siphoning Attacks.
This bug occurs from Light Attacking while blocking. See video below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7oCguQcvT0
