I just bought my tank this set and found a problem .

Effect proc when I use Pierce Armor
Effect not proc when I use Exhilarating Drain

Hm ... Exhilarating Drain not direct damage ? Channeling skill count as DOT or independent skill type ?

Exhilarating drain is a channelled damage over time effect, like Restoration staff and Lightning staff heavy attacks. So they are not direct damage.

Templar's Jabs and Dualwield's Rapid Strikes are a channelled series of direct damage instances, so they would proc the set.

As a rule of thumb, if it's a beam, it's probably considered damage over time.
