To clarify the "Damage to enemies on Low Life", the "Enemies take x% increased damage" stat is a separate system to the player doing increased damage - If a monster takes 100% more damage and the player deals 100% more damage, they'll multiply to have the monster take four times more damage, rather than being adding to 200% increased damage dealt to the monster. It effectively becomes a 'more' without being described that way on the item. The only thing it currently stacks with is Vulnerability and Shock stacks.

Long story short, the "increased damage" mod on that ring is possibly multiplicative with the rest of your damage. However, the wording is slightly confusing - it doesn't necessarily say "damage to enemies" just "increased damage" - maybe it's like Le Heup and just means increased damage in general (which would not be additive with other "increased" modifiers rather than multiplicative). Would be great to have a dev clarify!

This is because your item got pushed through before we had a sytem to actually do what it does - we were working on said system at the time, but apparently your item was required to go in before then, so we had to cheat.
Since there was no way to provide "increased damage" bonuses that were conditional on something about the enemy rather than yourself, we had to instead make your item treat enemies as if they had a property saying they took increased damage (like shock). This is why the item used to say "Enemies on low life take % increased damage...".
Since implementing the actual system for conditional damage modifiers, all other such modifiers were done properly (since they waited until we could actually do them to go in), and at some point your item was changed to use the correct system, and now acts as a simply % increased damage modifier against a certain set of enemies.
You item was the only one which got pushed in before the actual system was in place, so was the only one ever affected by the somewhat hacky implementation we had to use to do that, and since it no longer does, this is not a thing which will ever happen again.

And for the record, if by some chance it had, it would not say just "% increased damage" like this does. If we implement something that increases damage taken by the enemy, it will explicitly say so, as your item used to. "increased damage" bonuses are always additive with other "increased damage" bonuses. They are (sort of) multiplicative with "increased damage taken" modifiers on the enemy, because those apply to different values (your damage you're trying to deal, and the damage they actually take after mitigation respectively).

Doesn't this hugely impact the shock status effect?

No, it has absolutely no effect on shock. Shock always was, and still is, a modifier to damage taken. That has not changed. What changed is that Blood Dance was briefly implemented as an increase to damage taken (like shock), and later fixed when we had the current system. This had no effect on anything other than that one mod.

Maybe my brain is working properly.. Can someone please explain to me how the Blood of the Karui with 30% reduced recovery speed is 4.3 seconds? and with 23% reduced speed ends up at 3.9 seconds?

Sanctified Life Flask has a base duration of 3 seconds.

3 * 1.3 = 3.9

3 * 1.23 = 3.6

I think there's some fail math going on somewhere.

The fail is that you're taking an amount of reduced speed, and trying to apply it as though it was increased duration. That doesn't make sense.
If you applied this logic at the extreme, you'd be saying that 100% reduced speed meant 100% increased duration:

3 * 2 = 6.

When in fact halving speed doubles duration, but taking away all of the speed means you can't have a duration (it's undefined). Something with 100% reduced speed has no speed, and thus makes no progress over time. If your math was correct, then a person standing still would therefore reach any given destination in exactly double the time it took someone to walk there, despite moving at 0 speed.

Reducing speed by 30% is reducing the speed by 30%. This has the effect of increasing the duration it takes, but does not increase the duration by 30%.

The effect on duration of reducing speed by 30% is this:
3 * ( 1 / 0.7 ) =
3 / 0.7 = 4.3 (ish)
