Sigil of Blood critical
The attack which the sigil applies lifesteal to can critically hit like any normal attack.
However, if you are asking this because you are expecting a ‘critical heal’ from critically hitting with the lifesteal effect, bad news, lifesteal does not work that way in GW2. The amount of health the attack heals you for is not proportionate to the amount of damage the attack deals, but instead scales off healing, meaning it isn’t affected by dealing critical damage.
EDIT: Whoops, I didn’t know sigil of blood had its own damage, that I am not sure about but I would suspect it can crit, I know, for example, that sigil of fire and sigil of air can both critically hit.

Hmmm…gw2wiki says fire and air “cannot crit”. Regarding the heal I was aware that it had a separate damage coefficient then the heal. The heal is fixed, but if the damage portion can crit I may consider it.

You’re right, had the wrong page pulled up, the recipe page. The heal does scale though, but with healing like all the other lifesteal abilities. If there’s no info on the wiki you may just have to equip one and test it out in the mists then check the combat log.
The problem is Sigil of Blood has a bug currently where it does not show in the combat log.
It works, and it works better as a self-heal than water. It seems to find a comfortable place at around 60% crit, beyond that cooldowns create diminishing returns.
