Q:

Can someone explain this to me? Does it make bleeding 20% more damaging? Or something else?

A:

20% scaling off your current bleed dmg (so essentially condition damage). It was 33% in the trait video previews the devs did.

20% dmg per bleed seems nice then you look at necro’s adept trait and it would probably essentially be more dmg: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Barbed_Precision , note… it’s an adept and yes, we have a ‘similar’ adept but it competes with more important things and can’t synergize with what it’s supposed to, trap builds. :P

I would actually suggest making hidden barbs all combined in a trait together and making it master tier:

Sharpened Edges + Hidden Barbs combined to ‘Hidden Barbs’ staying in the master spot then put something else in the adept slot. It would allow us to use condi trap builds better.

I agree with this totally. Sharpened Edges should not be competing with Trapper’s Expertise and Hidden Barbs is a bit lacklustre by itself when compared to many other bleeding traits.
