Doing some tests on the simulcrum, it seems like Devour is your best way to reliably drain health from extreme armored enemies like lv 105 eximus heavy gunners.

You only leech life from executes if your attack KILLS the target, and Scarab Swarm's leech is relative to the damage it deals. I took a 202 power strength Inaros up against an eximus gunner (with corrosive projection) and it was only dealing 6 damage per tick, which wasn't nearly enough to keep me sustained.

Devour on the other hand, seems to deal a flat amount of damage plus a percentage of the enemy's HP, or something to that degree. It was ticking for 100's and healing me very fast.

Therefore, your best option against extreme high level enemies is to carry a powerful execution based weapon around like the Destreza for killing the strong ones, and sustain yourself by using Devour, while scarab swarm will primarily be used for Crowd Control.
