Wondering about rapid strike and bloodthirst against blocking opponents

So I heard that rapid strike and bloodthirst can drain stamina from blocking opponent faster than normal spammable skill.
Roughly how much faster? I'm guessing 3 times faster since it has 0.6 second channeling duration. But nothing's sure...
Anyone have tested this?

    Rapid Strikes and Bloodthirst hit 5 times over the 0.6 seconds, but because of the cooldown on block cost, they only drain resources three times in that period.
    So yes, the skill does drain stamina from blockers much faster than a normal spammable

    I would also like to know if blocking the last hit of bloodthirst lowers the healing received from the skill.

    Blocking the last hit also seems to reduce the heal on Blood Thirst.

    Yes.

    (The healing come from 60% of the damage caused - blocking the damage lowers it, etcetcetc. - still a good skill to drain stamina from blocking opponents.)
