It has been half a year since i’ve first mentioned it, but with the Death Shroud nerf of last Tuesday this issue has become so much more important to fix.
If you let your Life Force run out while in Death Shroud and then immediately go into Plague, you get kicked out within half a second wasting the Plague and opening you up for any incoming damage. (this is not a player mistake: one can only cancel plague manually 1 second after activating it)
A demonstration of how this can kill a Necro in combat:

And one in PvP without external factors:

The reason this has to be fixed fast, is very clear:
Before last Tuesday, when you ran out of Death Shroud and went into Plague, the elite skill would cancel itself immediately. However, you would at least have no (or a reduced) cooldown on Death Shroud, so even though your Plague was cancelled automatically you would still be able to save yourself with Death Shroud sometimes.
Now, when you run out of Death Shroud and the Plague bugs, you are left without any possibility to get out alive.
