Let's consider the basic situation in which this spell would be used: A Hunter and one warrior against a target.
Death Sentence: Hunter casts it on the target, only the allied warrior gets the damage bonus.
Sudden Strike: Hunter casts it on the target, both the hunter and the warrior get the damage bonus.
Compost's post above seems to indicate DS gives +50 more damage per attack than SS. So with DS the warrior would get +50 damage. With SS, one assumes the Hunter and warrior would get a damage bonus roughly equal to what DS would give the warrior alone (large barb damage notwithstanding).
However, in most RvR situations you may have 1 or 2 warriors on a target, supported by far more archers and mages. In these cases, if DS is cast on the target, only the warriors would get the bonus. But if SS is used, then all the ranged classes (archer and mages) get the bonus.
As far as I can tell, the only case where DS outperforms SS would be multiple warriors supported by a single hunter. And how often does that happen in Regnum?
DS appears to have been intended as a single-target debuff for a single Marksman, or group of Marksmen. Translation to melee support doesn't seem to work.

Does that spell boost all damage under 4m range?
Pet and hunter could gain the bonus too then, anyone tested yet?
