I'm glad you like my Andariel concept so much :)
Is there anything in particular thst you like, or is it just everything together?

Well, I can feel Andariel with this hero concept, that's for sure! For the specifics, not sure but it could be fun to have a talent like sylvanas that corrupts minions, don't you think? I mean, she did that in Rogue Encampment so XD

I think that the Trait is a really cool idea.
However, it's extremely over powered.
Making a hero 30% vulnerable, or healing yourself for 20% max health per second is insane.
You need to take those numbers down to 1%.
And make the healing per hit, not per second.
Also don't let basic abilities add stacks, and stacks should reset if you switch between dmg/heal.

The Q and W abilities are very generic and boring.
I know that those are her original skills from D2, but maybe you should re-think them to make them more interesting and fun.
The E ability is a bit too much. 1.5 second stun is crazy.

The first heroic is very very OP.
You basically can make the entire enemy team take 30% more damage, that's insane.
In my opinion, you should make it apply to only 1 target, and maybe reduce the cooldown so it won't be too weak as well.

There are some over powered talents like Pleasure In Pain (super OP), Eternal Torment (3 sec stun = dead hero), Shared Pain, and all the lvl 20 talents.

Overall I really like the idea of this hero/trait, but I think you should refine it a bit more.
Turn in down a notch, and get rid of boring/generic abilities.

Cheers :)

Blinding Pain is ridiculously overpowered. Stunning for 2.5+ seconds with a basic ability?

She has to build up 5 stacks of Anguish first, then consume them, giving up a large portion of either her damage or her sustain for a CC ability. The way I see it, it's a good tradeoff for some good utility. I'm surprised you didn't latch onto the insane attack speeds she can reach coupled with her massive damage potential :P

Well, first off, I must say that this is a terrifying enemy to face. You've done well, I'd say.

I think Piercing Agony might do a bit too much damage; It can, assuming level 1 stats, one-shot most all of the supports/assassins/specialists. Sure, it would scale slower, but it's still a bit high. Some other tuning might be needed here & there, but it looks good to me besides that.

However, I do think I've found a talent build I'd usually take:
Pleasure in Pain, Abundant Anquish, Writhe in Agony, Maiden of Anguish, The Fun's Not Over Yet/Always a Victim, Shared Pain, and Feast of Suffering/Blood Frenzy.
Auto Attack Build that can dish out immense damage or heal for incredibly high amounts of health per second.

Thank you so much for the feedback. I suppose Piercing Agony might be a bit too powerful overall, so I'll go ahead and bump the damage down by 5 per stack and bump the scaling a bit. Thank you so much for the build, too!
