How does Multistrike and Chance to Bleed interact?

I'm a level 88 Gladiator running tier 11 - 14 maps. I was using Heavy Strike with Brutality, Multi Strike, Melee Physical, Faster Attacks, and a plain rare axe for a weapon and Resolute Technique. But I found some new gear and switched things around. Now I'm using Double Strike with Accuracy, Multi Strike, Faster Attacks, Deadly Ailments, and Mark of the Doubting Knight Dagger.

...wait a second...

You have no AoE whatsoever? You kill one monster after another?

Maim and Brutality both grant generic Physical Damage modifiers. Bleed deals Physical Damage, and as such scales with Phys Damage modifiers.

Oh... That was stupid of me. Of course they scale bleed damage. :)

Yes but Multi Strike works just fine for clearing packs, even while only hitting one after another. It works even better with Gratuitous Violence, my explosions usually take out a whole pack.

I'm still experimenting but I think you're right, that dagger doesn't really work for my build. Maybe it's designed more for the Shadow. My move speed isn't that bad, still at 24% even with the 25% speed reduction. Right now the biggest thing messing me up is the lack of red sockets on that evasion armour.
