Next time you're wounded, note your hp. Fire up Hymn, then
immediately stop it. Wait. Note how many hp you gain each
"pulse" (server updating the client). Note that this only
happens twice. Note that the total number of hp healed
reflects the song only pulsing twice.

Now do it with a DoT - fire it up once and watch the mob's
health bar. Note that it falls three times, again once per
"pulse." I just want to verify that there's no client ->
server -> client weirdness going on here, and the DoTs really
do have 3 pulses.
