Bahraras Curse Set

Hey,
I recently farmed my whole Light Armor Bahraras Curse in theory this set was interesting because of the snare and the self-heal. However there are two things there that aren't noted in the tooltip that drastically reduce the usefulness of this set.

Read the effect of the (5) here.
(5 Items) Your damage abilities have a 25% chance to create desecrated ground for 5 seconds, snaring enemies within for 70%, damaging them for 1138 Magic Damage every 1 second and healing you for the damage done.

But here are the things that reduce the usefulness drastically.
1st: There is some kind of internal cooldown. 25% sounds pretty high hu? Yes but there seems to be a 5 seconds cooldown.
2nd: You cannot have multiple desecrated grounds, also the grounds are tiny and somehow fail to snare immediately when coming up.
So enemies can simply walk out of the area easily.

My change idea is simply
Remove both restrictions! The magic damage is not that high, the heal is not that high either.
Make it a supportive (5) bonus which can heal and snare enemies.

    The heal may not seem high until you're surrounded by 10 mobs. 1v1, it's not overly unbalanced, but remove those restrictions currently on the set and you can basically walk into any mess of mobs and come out fully healed constantly. I'd love to see 3+ circles underneath 10+ mobs combined with a leeching set as well for... reasons.

    Well that would make it a sustain set but the damage nevertheless is pretty weak.
    So what? It is still far behind other sets.

    In PVE it's actually pretty great as a secondary set for a tank. When you've got agro on a bunch of stuff it's easy to have several of them in the AOE, and the damage/heal works great.

    Based on the size of the AOE I would imagine it's useless for PVP.
