I just slotted the “lifesteal increased by x” to a blank 2h sword (blister, unenchanted) and it added lifesteal to it. the gem is actually giving lifesteal, as described on the enchants google doc.  
in my setup it gives me 3 hp per hit.

“Increased Lifesteal - GIVES you lifesteal. It doesn’t increase other sources of lifesteal. Healing increases scales lifesteal.”

> If you need lifesteal you need at least one lifesteal gem in your weapon or shield otherwise increased healing will not affect it as your lifesteal value is set to 0.
