Here's the thing about the zheart, the epic is meaningless for what, the first 46 levels at least? The lower levels are were the heart gives the biggest percentage increase are 1-49 anyways. Iksar regen doesn't really take off until 49+, 1-20 you're still only 4 sitting 2 standing, and 21 to 49 is 6 sitting 2 standing. After 34 and Call of Bones until 49/Lich, you halve CoB's HP drain and before that with Allure I think you'll actually gain HP. After 49 lich and 51+/55+ regens, it's still 25-50% less HP drain depending on the spell/level/position.
That isn't anything to sneeze at in the long term, lifetaps are not exactly the most efficient DPS source out there and anything you can do to spend less mana on those, the better; especially with some ridiculous twinked HP pool which the zheart, again, lets you take better advantage of. It doesn't look very "wow" if you look at it on a per fight basis, but we're talking at least what, weeks, if not months of leveling? It adds up. Not to mention the reality of it's utility to speed things up when you're laying around after something doesn't go perfectly. Meanwhile, that slimeblood in the bank does absolutely nothing.
And lets not forget, at 350k, you can get the heart, slimeblood, HP jewelry, pre-Nerf CoS, OiV, Heiro, jboots, and still have plenty left over to fill out the rest of your slots with decent gear and maybe even a couple tink bags. If your entire budget was gonna go to the zheart, my tune would change. But I don't even know why this is presented as an "this or that" at that level of funding.
And at the end of the day, if you don't like it, you can just sell it. The heart's value has stayed fairly strong, there's consistent WTBs and as long as you don't do anything incredibly stupid, you won't lose much, if anything at all.
