Hell no. I can't think of a single instance where manually casting the curse isn't easier and more efficient.

If you need to lay several curses on a boss regularly and you're a melee.

cast on damage taken takes care of it easily. cheaper socket-wise and effort-wise

^^^^^^^^^^^^

No. First of all I like to cast my own skills (instead of spamming just one all the time). Also, GL getting links for that, even if you are not solo player.

For me, having my double strike cast enfeeble or whatever is, in a numerical sense, not as valuable as being able to link good support gems like multistrike and faster attacks. One of the problems is cast on hit takes up a slot and doesn't really do anything for the skill its supporting.

As an aoe melee character I use it with warlords mark so I get endurance charges and life steal from enemies (only while leveling up). I realised it was much more effective than life steal support gem and life on hit. However, at end game I can see myself switching to life steal and equiping molten shell and enduring cry to cast on damage taken.

.

if "curse on hit" had some other effect's such as increase effect and duration on the curse then i might but currently it only nerf's a curse to be single target cast and wasting an entire gem socket. so unless it benefit's the curse or other abilities i would not waste an entire socket on it.

perhaps change the fact that curse on hit need's to be linked to a trigger ability and just let it trigger on any physical damage dealt as well.
