Hello.
Sorry for the late reply :) Indeed, chaos apparently uses a random attack type, ignoring the weapon's one. And obviously not caring about what you're hitting :) So losing life-stealing is logical in this case. I'm not sure there is chaos resistance on armor, but I may be wrong. In any case I don't think it'd protect from anything, as chaos merely makes that random choice, it's not used.
