The main thing to consider here, imo, is do you want more upfront damage (like for mowing down hordes of weaklings when farming XP / normal dungeons / vet add pulls / etc.) or do you want more damage ramp up toward the end of longer / tougher fights (like bosses mainly)?

You don't need to do specific in-depth testing to know which you prefer for your build or play style or whatever, and that's mostly what Infused vs Bloodthirsty really boils down to in the end.

For organized group content where your job is dealing damage above all else, Bloodthirsty is the way to go. For pretty near everything else, it's either a toss-up that you can decide based on sheer preference, or Infused comes out ahead. (Only comparing Infused vs Bloodthirsty here, of course; other traits are good for other builds and whatnot, but that's off-topic.)


But fwiw, Infused is a bit more versatile in that you can swap Glyphs around as needed without leaving the instance you're in, which can come in handy on occasion (like if your group isn't helping you with sustain enough and you need a Recovery boost on the spot). It's also better than Bloodthirsty for boosting non-damage skills, like Vigor and whatnot. Not having to rely on fighting some low-health target for your power boost is nice in a lot of cases. But this mostly applies in random groups, solo, etc.
