I would use Fabrik to make a form to be included on each K2 article... You'll have to do a small bit of php to pick up the k2 item id, but it should work well for you.

a form is a form...
unless you want to make a unique form for every article, the form will need to capture some info from the page so that you know what page generated the reply.
It's not that difficult, and if Fabrik wouldn't suit, I wouldn't recommend it.

there would need to be something unique about the page url, so in all likelihood, you'll have to have the form triggered when it's in article view, not in blog view, and please. please, DON'T do this in Joomla 2.5.X, it's past expiry.

I say you should upgrade to Joomla 3 without any regard to this plugin - you are BEGGING to be hacked.
