] | Double damage rune just double the base damage + attributes of your hero, and it comes before all other effects/orbs. Lifesteal instead is calculated after all other effects and also after all damage reductions, therefore we can affirm that lifesteal will benefits from a double damage rune.
Regarding Critical Strickes... | Short answer is yes.
Practical answer; if you have lifesteal coming from a non orb source (aura, innate ex: lifestealer passive) it is almost always better mathematically to buy Desolator before critical strike against most targets with most armor values you are likely to see in game. |
