I wanted to test if Crypt Fever, Ebon plague, and Rage of rivendare were actually working.

I went 0/0/50 and tested it on Strangulate and Death Coil, which do the same dmg everytime.

Strangulate:

Strangulate - base 300 dmg
Strangulate 1535 ap - 682 dmg
Strangulate 1535 ap w/ ebon plague - 772 dmg
Strangulate 1535 ap w/ ebon plague and blood plague - 848 dmg

Looks like Ebon plague and Rage of Rivendare work with Strangulate.

Death Coil:

Death coil base dmg - 428
Death coil takes 25% of your attack power to determine bonus dmg, so:
1535 x 0.25 = 384 bonus dmg from 1535 ap
Impurity gives an additional 25% to the bonus damage from ap.
384 x 0.25 = 96 bonus dmg from Impurity
(base dmg + bonus dmg from ap + bonus dmg from Impurity) x 1.15 morbidity = Death coil dmg
Death coil so should then theoretically give:
(428 + 384 + 96)x1.15 = 1043 death coil dmg

Ingame tests:
Death coil - 1044 dmg
Death coil w/ ebon plague - 1180 dmg
Death coil w/ ebon plague and blood plague - 1297 dmg

Looks about right! Ebon Plague and Rage of Rivendare working with Death coil.

Now for some diseases:

Frost Fever:

Frost fever tick w/ 1535 ap - 214
Frost fever tick w/ 1913 ap - 261
(47 dmg increase w/ 378 ap increase = 1 dmg per 8 ap)

Frost fever tick 1535 ap w/ blood plague - 235
Frost fever tick 1913 ap w/ blood plague - 287
(52 dmg increase w/ 378 ap = 1 dmg per 7.3 ap)

Frost fever receives bonus dmg from 12.5% of attack power.
Looks like Frost fever is affected by Rage of Rivendare, but not ebon plague/crypt fever.

Blood Plague:

Blood plague 1535 ap - 259
Blood plague 1913 ap - 346
(87 dmg increase w/ 378 ap increase = 1 dmg per 4 ap)

Blood plague 1535 ap cast twice - 285
Blood plague 1913 ap cast twice - 381
(96 dmg increase w/ 378 ap increase = 1 dmg per 3.94 ap)

Blood Plague receives bonus dmg from 25% of attack power.
Casting Blood plague once does not automatically give it the Rage of Rivendare bonus.
You must reapply it on itself to receive its own benefit.

Conclusions:

Crypt fever does not work at all.
Ebon plague is not working on diseases, but works on all other magic dmg.

Rage of Rivendare works, but in order to have blood plague receive the benefits of it,
you must refresh it by applying it twice.

Impurity was kind of disappointing as it relies on the coefficient of attack power of the spell on its
bonus dmg. Its like Improved Rune tap, looks really good at first glance, (wow 15% per point extra healing!)
But it is actually 15% of 10% of total hp, much like Impurity is 25% of 25% of attack power.

Something happened that broke crypt fever/ebon plaguebringer for diseases. Perhaps this is
why my disease dmg went down drastically vs when the new build first went up?

Thoughts?
