Can you dodge Life Leech with Deny the Witch?

By RMcD, in Dark Heresy Rules Questions

Deny the Witch says: The character may use his Willpower characteristic when making an Evasion Reaction against ranged or melee attacks against him made with psychic powers. When successfully evading an attack with an area of effect, the character does not move but instead is simply unaffected by the psychic power.

Under the Psychic powers page it says you can dodge Bolts/Storm and Barrage. Life Leech is none of those, but it does have the attack subtype.

I would say no, as there's no Evasion Test, therefore nothing to evade. You could offer them a bonus to the Opposed Willpower v Toughness Test if you felt like it.

I imagine it has the Attack Subtype for it to count against the 1 Attack, 1 Concentration Action per Round limit.

Thanks, that's definitely my understand of it though I think the description of the talent could be clearer.
