Imperial Red Diamond heals when taking dmg?

Hello all, I have a question about how this passive procs. I am an Imperial nightblade and I never see this proc from using any of my skills. The only time I ever see it proc is when I swing my weapon and do light or heavy attacks. I thought this was odd so I asked a GM about it and I got this response:

I understand that your Imperial passive, Red Diamond, is not working properly as it should when using your weapon abilities. As it seems, the racial passive "Red Diamond" that grants a 10% chance to heal when taking Melee damage as an Imperial. I apologize for the wording as it may not have been very clear.

Please feel free to submit a /feedback if you would like to see some wording changes or even skill changes in future patches. Our development team reads all feedbacks and considers them all to improve on ESO.

So how is it that this heals me when I take damage? If this is true then it NEVER works because I never see it proc unless I swing my swords. Now I have seen this work on My templar with biting jabs and proc off of that. Has anyone else had any experiences like this? Can anyone explain how this actually works?

I would love to get another GM's answer on this because I don't think I was given the right information.

    I think it procs on melee damage dealt, not received. On my templar I've seen it proc with light/heavy attacks and biting jabs. I didn't look that far into it but it's probably working with all melee attacks as mentioned in the tooltip.
    Wololo.

    Tip: it procs off caltrop damage also (apparently considered "melee") :smile:

    As a nightblade most of my attacks are melee attacks and it never procs from them and I also use flying blade and rapid strikes from the dual wield tree and it never procs from that either. I have tested it numerous times and it only ever heals when I actually do a light or heavy attack which is very rare for me to do because my skills usually kill the mobs pretty quickly. I think they need to fix this passive to work with all melee based attacks and not just a few here and there.

    Procs off melee damage dealt.

    As for why it's not proccing off certain attacks, thank ZOS for bad programming and attribute-skill checks.

    I've only had it proc off light/heavy and Jabs as a Templar. Haven't ever seen it proc from s+b, 2hand, or DW skills.

    That's what I thought but I was told by a GM and then it was confirmed by another Gm that it procs off of damage taken. It sounds like they don't have the right information either.

    I think that GM is just making stuff up.
