Why doesnt 'recoup damage as life' work on damage vs ES?

it doesnt say damage to your life is recouped. it just says damage. so to my reasoning if i take damage to my es i should recoup life, and it doesnt work that way. is this intentional, and if so... why?

Are you sure it doesn't work? Maybe it's Petrified Blood (Your life cannot be raised above low life other than by flasks).
fairly. i have as much es as unreserved life, and i was in a map with no es recharge. i have taken zealot's oath and eternal youth essentially reversing my regen and recharge. so while my es would regen, my life would not recharge. yes i run petrified blood, but i was at about 1/4 life during this test, and damage that didnt make it though my es wouldnt recoup that missing life.
Maybe recoup effects were offset by petrified blood dot effect.
PB dot effect only applies to damage vs life. damage vs ES shouldnt trugger that, and should trigger recoup. which means, according to my reading, i should recoup life from damage vs ES up to the low life threshold.
I tried it now, it works.
