Use Reckoning to go with your bloodthrust. In fact, if you lead with it and you obsessively craft for VIT, pretty soon anything that isn't a major boss or a high-tier colosseum opponent (like a 12M hp arena champion, say) will die the action after you start Reckoning.

No need for any stat other than a pile of HP, no need to bleed yourself -- reckoning scales similarly, and the one major opponent that comes to mind that permanently blinds you (weaking mantras greatly) also bleeds you, so you can bloodthrust him easily without needing an unstable weapon.

And yes, weapon damage is irrelevant when you can bloodthrust for over a million damage every other turn.
