I really like the idea of your concept. The basic-abilitys arent innovative, but fine. But i dont like the ultimates.
When i understand it right, the ultimates are decisions, which form is stronger. That just sounds like many talents.
Also Leah loosing her trait, when she choosing SALVATION. So she loosing her personal gameplay and strenght with this decision. I dont like this. Maybe you have some different ideas? Maybe one real ultimate in each form?

I must agree that these ultimates make her feel like if she's a 1/2 heroine and not a whole/complete Heroine. I do like the ideas, but yeah I also think that these two should be more like a "Talent path options" more than ultimates. Maybe something related with her uncontrollable Demonic (Diablo's) powers? Like something more periodic active and passive?

Leah is a ranged assasin, right? A ranged assasin dont need a tanky trait. Also this is similar to dehakas trait. And what are her talents? Just think about it. Im sure you become better ideas for ultimates which reflex her story too.
