Separate Bite’s own rank effects from the Ultimate refresh
Sanguine Renewal makes Voracious Bite reset all Active Ability cooldowns. Spend the cooldowns you want to reuse before using Bite, then check that you still have the charges, Health and valid targets needed for the next action. A carried blood vial does not perform the named Voracious Bite trigger.
Bite’s own healing depends on its rank: the listed restoration rises from 60% of a Health Segment at rank 1 to 80%, 100% and 120%. Ranks 3 and 4 also add a temporary Claw Damage bonus. These effects belong to the ability and should be checked separately from Sanguine Renewal’s cooldown reset.
Voracious Bite at rank 4 already has “No Cooldown if you kill the target.” That conditional effect concerns Bite and requires a kill. Sanguine Renewal names a broader reset of Active Abilities when Bite is used, so learning the fourth Bite rank is not the same thing as already having this Ultimate.
The build needs a practical way to use Bite in the encounter. If you cannot secure a suitable target, the planned refresh is not available just because the perk is learned. Compare the kill and boss-segment route of Lethal Crescendo when your vampire build is mainly using claws.
