Permableed for !Malk

I have two slots in !Malk DEM OBF AUS based !malk deck. The deck has (really) good poolgain, but is vulnerable to combat, BUT can fetch Secure Haven faster and pull off bleeds anywhere on the table. What I need is to fill those two slots with permableed to compensate for playing with a single vampire. After done with the rusher, the vamp can perish under Archon Investigation, I can afford that.

I was filling those two slots with Enchanted Marionette and Pulse of the Canaille, but lately I have seen Dive Into The Madness advocated as a good permableed, so I thought, whether my choices were sub-optimal? Do you have other suggestions how to make a single vamp a mean bleed machine in otherwise certain vamp-unfocused deck?

Enchanted Marionette

[Equipment]
[Malkavian antitribu]
[3 Pool]

Unique equipment.
The Malkavian antitribu with this equipment gets +1 bleed and +1 stealth when bleeding.

Pulse of the Canaille

[Action]
[Auspex]
[3 Blood]

+1 stealth action.
[aus] For the remainder of this turn, you may look at all Methuselahs' hands.
[AUS] Put this card on the acting vampire. The vampire with this card gets +2 bleed. A vampire can have only one Pulse of the Canaille.

I think I would choose none of the above.
* Enchanted Marionette is just too expensive
* Pulse of Canaille looks good in the first place, but it costs three blood and you need a vampire with AUS. The same vampire that most likely needs his blood for playing Telepathic Misdirection.

If you actually want to play Permableed in !Malk bleed deck, I would just add one copy of Tasha Morgan and J.S. Simmons, Esq. instead. It's cheap and it's not interfering with the Kindred Spirits bleed action like Camera Phone, Codex of Ednic Groundskeeper, etc..

Thanks! I'd like to know of viable options in general, so I did not get specific with my deck.

Maybe something more, for 2+ bleed/stealt? It is hard to justify action to equip +1 stealth/+1 bleed when half of crypt has inbuilt +1 stealth/+1 bleed as it is. Even if they hadn't, +1 permableed instead of bleed +3 with DEM KS+EoC for 1 poolgain would break even 4 turns after equiping. Which is 20 pool damage in a perfect world. Which is more than enough to oust a rush deck. +2 bleed bleed on the other hand means breaking even 2 turns after equiping. 3 turns = 12 pool damage, which is somewhat not enough for the 1st oust, hence it would be worth to get +2 permableed.

On the other hand, if I replaced EoC with Confusion, +1 permableed would sound just as well, since you would get your action-worth in 3rd turn after eq. action and at 12 poold damage equivalent. Wee!

Have you a significant number of cap 10+ ? Because Enkil Cog seem the perfect fit in this case.

Apart from that, I am not too thrilled by +bleed equip when your crypt already bleed for 3 easily, but without seeing the deck, hard to judge.

2x Madman's Quill?
Very good if you have plenty of dem minions, but also usable as +2 bleed...

why is it your goal to play with a single vampire??? This sounds like a terrible strategy.

Do you mean to say that you have a lot of combat in your meta-game? If so, add 2x Swallowed By The Night to run away from them (and for +1 stealth when needed).
