Why Bound Flesh doesn't work when only partially converting mana to life?

I allocated Skill Cost Life instead of 15% of mana cost, but I'm not seeing Bound Flesh activating. It only activates for me when I use Lifetap instead.

Do your skills costs at least 20 life with this mastery?

That shouldn't matter. Usually these things are accumulative across multiple skill uses. So even if a single use only costs 10 life, it should activate on the 2nd use.

On the other hand I see no skill on OP's character that is likely to be spammed, so that Baryatic tension could build up to a significant level, especially when only 15% of the cost is payed with life.

Desecrate - 2 life and Offering - 5 life

I'm not really spamming them, but I would expect to accumulate Baryatic Tension even slowly. It's only up to 30% of max life anyway.

It says "total" if it's accumulative.
