Test it out live, and then in the TSE. That and one poison skill or enchantment should keep your Poison stat effect up times high. It will most likely replace Nirn when people realize that the Eviscerate vamp skill now can proc the new Hemorrhage stat effect AT WILL and keep it's (the Hemorrhage) stack's up at all times. Meaning that a Vampire will be able to keep BOTH up with an 85% or higher up time. Yikes! The only thing now is to figure out where you want your burning to come from and that should do it for max dps. (I hope).

ele sus already supplies burning, chilled and concussed every 7.5 seconds (burning is 4 seconds, and applies 5 times over the full duration (once on cast, and then 4 more times, the 4th time being when ele sus itself expires))
so 20 sec of burning for 1 cast of ele sus (assuming your not running serpents disdain, which actually could make ele sus stronger with 20 sec duration status effects, because of the concussed bonus of procing when concussed is active)
sheer venom procs off abilities, the poison dot is not an ability

Right now on the live server, Sheer Venom is triggered by the DoT effect of the Poison Injection ability. If now Poisoned status effect count an execut, then it would be logical for Sheer Venom to also trigger from the Poisoned DoT.
