Both give +10% damage per level, and the STR/DEX and TCD boost from Deathlord hard points seems more useful than the 1% life leech from famine hard points. (I can make crafted life leech jewels fairly inexpensively)
Famine should always be maxed, no matter what gear you have and what spec you use. The matter is that TCD/ctbh ratio grows very poorly after reaching ~500k def, so it does not matter much, will you have 10% or 8% ctbh by Harpylisks/Necrobots/Slain Souls etc. LL matters much more as it allows you literally jump into a huge crowd of monsters without fear to be ripped into shreds (Parasite will leech life and keep your hp at max. even if you get enfiladed by a pack of Necrobots).
