And since there is no icon and it functions more as a pulse than as a buff (i.e. for a duration) would that mean that twisting anything with it would greatly reduce it's functionality? i.e. if you twist 4 songs instead of continually mashing manasong you are getting 1 manasong pulse every 12 seconds as opposed to 1 pulse every 3.

I did some rough testing on this last night, but given the scenario (buffed caster raiding) my results came back less than ideal. She was getting fluctuating mana regen every 3 seconds, I assume due to my manasong pulse not lining up with her natural mana regen tick, but she was also getting this effect while I was twisting which would contradict it losing it's effectiveness while doing so. Anybody have raw numbers supporting the most efficient use of this song or willing to test it with me sometime tonight? Let me know! Thanks.
Yes, that is how it should be. You should be able to pulse it better than leaving it playing.

I have no idea if that's how it is going now, though.
