Does Leech Life III has the same function as Fast Metabolism?

Leech Life III:Life Leeched by Supported Skills is not removed at full Life.

Fast Metabolism:
Life Leech effects are not removed when Unreserved Life is Filled.

So if I'm just using one skill, can I put Leech Life III in the socket to have the same effect as Fast Metabolism?

Hello,

An excellent article written by Dreamcore describes the life-leeching mechanics. It will help you to understand the subtle embedded mechanics between Leech Life Force III and Fast Metabolism.

It has enlightened me. I hope it will be the same for you.

Thanks man, I've read the article. So if leech effect only stayed for 1 second and I have no other paasive node put for the duration, it dosent make much different if I got Leech III or Fast Meta. I'm playing Titan and every hit from my skill will leech.
