What do you think of Blackheart? Worth it? Part of me thinks 5% isn't that big of a deal. On the other hand, it's not terrible life (25), and I think that at least in the "short" term, it might not be a terrible addition.
Melee can certainly dish out good damage, even with mediocre gear. But damage won't be your main concern, surviving will be. You're going to have to be up close in order to do damage, which places you in greater damage. Unless you have a ton of damage (18k+) and life leech, I'd focus more on items that help you survive, over items that boost damage such as Blackheart.
