Technical answer is the hemocrit in the blood. Non technical answer iron is the way that oxygen transfers in your blood stream so your blood is going to have a slightly metallic salty taste to it.
Because METAL flows through each and every one of us! ROCK ON!

Iron in the blood stream helps insure oxygen carries to varoius parts of the body, and keeps veins and arteries intact.

Although there is iron in the blood, I dont think thats the reason blood tastes like metal, or else hamburger would have a mettalic taste even after being cooked.
Other than that. I really dont know.
I'm guessing its the iron.
Blood contains many minerals iron being chief among them. Check a bottle of ONE A DAY vitamins next trip to the store. Read the contents.
Because the hemoglobin portion of blood contains iron.
Blood tastes like metal because you probably have too much iron in your body. I wouldn't suggest the continuation of licking blood.
