Since I took 6 points to get that and 6 points to get Sac Life: Mana, I dumped a few extras into Necrosis just for the little boost to the dot.

Edit: Reclaim Power in necro returns only about 70% of what Sac Life does and pets are valid targets for dots and AOEs (or Shadehorrors add summon) so I don't use them at all.
