Most of our songs are 2 pulses. Fire up Hymn and immediately
turn it off, and your hp will increment only twice. The 3
pulse notion came about because depending on when your song
hits the server in its heartbeat cycle, it can "last" anywhere
from 2.00 to 2.99 pulses (and the time to start up the song
"adds" a half pulse subjectively).

DoTs seem to be 3 pulses. I've been meaning to test them with
Rokenn in the arena. If they are indeed 3 pulse songs, then
you have a bit more flexibility when weaving them.
