Fighting Style: Hemocraft Warrior
You learn one cantrip of your choice from the warlock spell list that requires an attack roll This counts as a blood hunter spell for you, and Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for it. Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace this cantrip with another from the warlock spell list that requires an attack roll.

You can apply your Crimson Rite feature to yourself directly. While active in this way, attacks from your cantrips deal additional damage equal to your Hemocraft Die of your active rite’s type. You cannot use this to apply your Hemocraft Die more than once per cast. If you use a cantrip that requires a weapon attack and your Crimson Rite is applied to both the weapon and yourself, the rite applied to yourself takes precedence over your weapon's. If you use a cantrip that requires multiple attack rolls, you apply your Hemocraft Die to only the first successful hit.

You must be a Blood Hunter to select this fighting style.

This is... not a good idea. At least, not when Eldritch Blast is an option (protip: if cantrips or the Warlock are involved in something, Eldritch Blast is going to mess stuff up).

I mean, assuming you meant "cantrip" instead of "attack" when saying that it only applies once, it should be fine. If not, you're looking at Eldritch Blast dealing 1d10+1d4 to 2d10 damage with a single bolt. It's also a must-take for Profane Souls (normally Hex is a trap for them - this opens up your bonus actions massively) and Lycans (none of the fighting styles work with unarmed strikes anyway, and it adds a decent ranged option).

It's a shame that Eldritch Blast exists, because otherwise this is a pretty cool fighting style.

That is a good point. With Eldritch Blast this fighting style is put comparatively to the Agonizing Blast invocation (1d4 being on average equivalent to having a +2 modifier, where as 1d10 being put on average to a +6). One tweak to the wording, which i'll do now, and it should be fine then.
