I don't believe festering wounds stack over 8. That said, 8 is an incredibly damaging amount. With the damage this deals, compared to Festering Strike's 475% (almost twice as much!), I could see this being incredibly bursty, especially in PvP. With bursting sores, it could easily take a target from full to execute range with some lucky crits on the ability itself and the wounds it pops.
only in pvp, its still 8 in pve
