Temptation's Compound Soul - some questions

"Striking Cursed foes has a chance to grant 5% of the Warlock's max HP as Temp HP to allies near the Warlock".

This is the feat description. What I'd like to know:
1.) Is there any ICD for this?
2.) What's (grossly) the chance to activate it?
3.) Is it really only for your allies, or does the SW himself also get the Temp HP?

Thanks :)

    1) Well I haven't noticed a ICD but then I was not really looking for one ether... I have seen it proc multiple times from a single use of the Brood of Hador Daily (one from each swarm hit) so I assume it does not. I can say that it does not seem to stack with itself, I can't seem to get more than 5% temporary hp form it alone at any one time.
    2) I haven't tested it clinically for a proc chance but it has a decent up time for me as long as I remember to keep my targets cursed.
    3) The SW also gets the temp HP which is a nice boost to our survivability :)

    I have not noticed any sort of cd on it either. If there is one then it's a very short one because i've seen it proc several times in a very short period of time. I've had it proc off both at will skills an encounters so i'm going to take a stab an say that it's just a random % chance that it will proc.

    I honestly agree that it's an amazing skill. I really don't know the exact math on everything but maybe this shot from my ACT will help out. This is over a 4 hour period of time. I was mostly doing dragon farming but there was one epic dungeon in the mix also. Unless I'm reading it wrong that skill took up 46% of the healing done. I would say that's an AMAZING amount for a skill.

    Does it trigger off of DoT ticks?

    Just realised the SW forum is available for days. From my preview testing last month:
    1) 0 ICD, can repeat trigger in every second in special circumstances. (In and out of combat)
    2) 100%, always activate in the first hit of battle.
    3) Apply to a small aoe area like Sunburst.
    4) Any damage will activate it, not sure weapon damage from GPF/Bile will trigger it or not.

    That's too bad, but I guess otherwise (without an ICD) it would be TOO powerful then. Like 100% Temp HP with Dreadtheft, and Creeping Death DoTs (-> many hits = many chances to activate it), lol

    Creeping Death doesn't proc weapon enchantments, so I'm not sure if it counts for Compounded Soul.

    I tested on my greater plaguefire, it procced 7 times in about 2 minutes and didn't proc off the enchantment only after using an encounter or at-will. It doesn't stack on itself however can proc back to back so no internal cooldown. I think it's worth the 5 points however I also kind of like the damage de-buffing capability's from temptation.
