Is there any formula/strat to maximizing it's effective? Or is it completely random?
My regular rotation doesn't utilize it the majority of the time, but I'll toss it in at the tail end of a long grinding chain or maybe in a fight against a boss character but I've found that the healing effect is completely random. I've tried after applying my set rotation diseases (Plague Strike, Icy Touch, Blood Strike), I've tried after only doing Plauge Strike only, and I've had times when I've went from like 50% health to 53% and other instances that I've gone from 30% health back up to 80%.
Is there a formula for this? Or it completely random like getting critical hits?

there is a formula, but im not aware of the exact mechanics behind it. wowwiki may have it.
basically, the more diseases you have on the target and the higher the damage that death strike does, the more youll be healed for. so if youve got two diseases and you crit with it, you can expect a big hunk of life back. tack on an extra 50% to that if you have vampiric blood up.

If you have the Glyph, it adds 2% damage and healing for every 5 Runic Power you have. If you have the Frost Talent to have 130 Runic Power, and the two points into improving it's Crit Chance and Crit Damage of Death Strike, you will heal yourself for 2000-3000 fairly regularly (That's what I'm doing at level 71). These heals have won me battles in PvP and saved myself while tanking instances, and of course make grinding and questing very easy.
On a side note, I've noticed that a fair number of times though not every single time, the amount healed has been exactly double what damage it deals. I don't pay too much attention to the numbers though.
