Staff
Bleeding on staff auto has been suggested before many times. The life force and unblockable are part of Soul Marks, so don't expect that to be added to the rest of the staff skills. I believe the rationale that it wasn't added is because the bleeding mark (mark of blood) is low cooldown.

Dagger
Bleeding on dagger auto has been suggested before.
Quickening thirst trait actually used to be the way you suggested, movement speed while wielding a dagger so I don't see that reverting.
Adding regen to dagger does nothing really as it's almost exclusively run on support scourges.

Traits
Reworking dhuumfire doesn't seem a great idea because the way your suggestion would be implemented does not help scourge or core necro whatsoever.

I don't see the playability of your revamped soul marks being very high as necro has no way to capitalize off short duration slow.

Scepter
I also don't see the point on adding confusion onto the scepter, since scourge is doing quite well on fights that you would benefit from confusion.

Axe
You didn't specify which skill this would be slotted onto, but I can tell you any high coefficient > 1.5 skill usually has a large drawback if ranged, whether cast time, cooldown or otherwise.

Greatsword
Any CC (Stun) does zero damage in competitive modes so adding a Greatsword stun is unwise unless you want to make Reaper unplayable.

You also forgot to say to remove blood bank and give us back vampiric rites.

[Anchoku.8142]

This is a wish list of mine.

 

Staff,

Necrotic Grasp - increase chance of a finisher to 50% without Soul Marks or 100% with in PvE only

Mark of Blood - increase bleed duration to 15 seconds in PvE only

Chillblain's - increase poison duration to 15 seconds in PvE only

Putrid Mark - additionally transfers 1 condition from up to 5 allies to the target in PvE or 0 conditions from allies in WvW or PvP.

Reaper's Mark - additionally creates a Light combo field in all game modes or a Fire combo field with the trait Soul Marks.

 

Main Hand dagger

Necrotic Slash, Necrotic Stab, Necrotic Bite cleave is increased from 2 targets to 3 targets.

 

MH or OH dagger

Quickening Thirst additionally increases damage by 15% in PvE only.

 

Off Hand dagger 

Enfeebling Blood bleed duration increased from 10 seconds to 15 in PvE only

 

Plague Signet - change the passive to increase condition damage by 10% for Necromancer only in PvE (not Reaper or Scourge) and change the active to instantly gather 1 condition from the Necro and up to 4 allies to a target.

 

Traits

Spiteful Talisman additionally doubles Spinal Shivers and Lesser Spinal Shivers critical hit damage to targets with Defiance

 

Banshee's Wail - war horn skill recharge reduction is increased from 20% to 33% in PvE only.

 

Blood Bank - change this trait to modify the Vampyric Presence trait by adding barrier conversion of over-healing for allies given VP.

 

Furious Demise - Change this trait to give 300 expertise when in shroud and 150 expertise when out of shroud. Split the trait for each game mode.

 

Master of Corruption additionally reduces cool down of skills which transfer conditions by 10% and reduces cast time of skills which transfer conditions by 50%. Master of Corruption also adds Mark of Blood to each target of Life Blast.

 

Carapace - make this exempt from aggro calculations.

 

Death Nova - when a minion's active skill is on cool down, attempting to use it again will destroy the minion and create a Death Nova.

_Death Magic *Trait*
After using a healing skill in combat, your next attack skill causes *Trait*:Deals damage at the end of duration. Spreads to nearby foes while duration is active. Ends duration early if you are downed or if a foe moves out of range. This effect can not critically hit.

*Trait*
This ability cannot critically hit 
Damage:[0.1-(3.0)]*2 per second (at Level 80)
Duration:12 seconds
Stacks: Intensity (1 per source)
Spread Radius:180

Damage Radius:240
End Range:900

When suffering from *Trait*, your health bubble fills upward in yellow to show projected damage as the duration progresses._

Tbh. I'd like to see a functionality change of scourge and the shades/traits.

 

Something like:

Keep current shade targets in pve. Adjust wvw shade target to match the pve version.

 

F1: same as it is now.

F2: inflict 1 stack of poison (maybe 3 or 4 seconds)

F3: immobilize targets (increase cooldown a bit)

F4: keep current version.

F5: keep current version.

 

Adjust abrasive grit: add 1second icd

Rework desert empowerment: keep current version, but now changes if sand savant is not equipped. If sand savant isn't used, this increases base condition duration of F1 and F2 by 50%. (Maybe only of F1)

Rework herald of sorrow: if sand savant isn't selected this now decreases shroud (F5) cooldown by 15% and the last pulse now corrupts 1 boon. If sand savant is selected: it basically keeps it's current function: give a small amount of barrier to nearby allies, after 4 seconds, give a big amount of barrier to allies.

 

Sand savant reworked: keeps the increase of targets. If selected, it removes all offensive abilities from shades and changes them to be defensive: 

F1: now grants swiftness and regeneration.

F2: now grants resolution/resistance.

F3: now grants barrier.

F4: keeps the fear.

F5: pulses protection.

 

The only problem with this is, that I didn't consider problems with other traits yet. (Such as corrupting from curses middle trait or shroud entry traits, or soulreaping vulnerability trait).

 

And the big problem is, that there's a lot of dependencies on sand savant.
