Revenant death totem rework

There are so many ideas that would improve the death totem a lot, Obviously I'm not going to explain why Revenant ultimate is situational and can be even harmful for you and your teammates because I have explained that a lot of times, Here is an idea of a rework but keep in mind this might not be what's best for him:

Once you activate the death totem, You become cursed for 30s, Dying while being cursed would instantly transform you into a shadow with 50 HP (Like the ones in fight or fright event). Dying as a shadow would return you to the totem with 1 HP.

The purpose of this rework is that when you run out of shields and health during a fight, You can quickly charge into your opponents (because of the shadow speed buff) and then you would try to melee them, The buff to Climbing would also help you to chase down your targets if they decided to climb away. Or you can use it to escape a fight/reposition or just reach any area quicker. I can see that this rework would be most helpful in close/medium ranges fight.
