sorry for the double post... but i just tried this for myself when i got back from work and im seeing this same exact thing on my 27 shaman, and it never did this a couple days ago because im weird and like to constantly do the math as i do canni for some reason. i think this is a bug right now, the mana is ticking like 4 times when i do it.. weird. it is usually very predictable.

I think I figured it out. It is a client-server issue.
There are two ticks, clientside and serverside that happen at different times. This apparently stems from the Titanium client having the "new" regen rates while the actual server uses classic (slower) regen. If you google "P99 false med ticks" you will see a couple threads, been around for years and probably no fix in the works, everyone has to work around it.
It looks like you only get 9 mana from canni because when the server updates you were actually standing and didn't hit your med ticks, the client tick is just there to make things confusing. You can manually offset your canni times by +1 second until you hit the right one and it returns the proper 20 mana and registers your med tick as well. The problem is this window floats between zones and time of day so you constantly have to hunt for it. I have gotten pretty good at it but sometimes they are so close or wonky you can't hit them at all.
I try hitting it right after med tick first.
Then off set 1 second if that fails
Then I wait for a med tick and see if I get a mana decline of -1 shortly after (this one is a good indicator of when to canni).
You have to offset your times within that window and you will usually get it, after that it can stay constant for 1-20+ minutes.
Same thing with losing a med tick after standing (without) canni. If you find this window you can stand a few milliseconds after it and keep your mana. Quite the grab ass but missing a med tick every so often probably won't be that drastic once we get Canni 4.
Good luck (God I wish I could leave the SK hermit, did him from 25-27 and he still seems like the best camp in SK so far).
