Damage procs in auras.

Just wanted to ask(more like make sure) if it is safe to put damage procs in auras such as Cloak of Fear without it damaging myself.
Ever since the incident with a damage proc in a taunt aura I feel unsure about it.

Wasn't it just the chance to stun that affected the player?

Copy the character to the Training Room and test it there?

It should be fine - I think the Stun and +end procs were the only ones that were originally broken (in fact I believe the +end proc, if put into an end-drain power like Power Sink, will still give End to any targets it is used on and I think it even has a warning to that effect on the IO itself).

I have damage procs in Choking Cloud on my Fire/Rad Corr and they certainly effect the enemy and not him, and I've heard other players advocating lots of procs in Arctic Air, so I don't see how Cloak of Fear would be any different - they're all control aura toggles that do no damage normally and just apply control effects to enemies in range.

I can happily report that the procs are working perfectly.
Psi damage and stuns allover the place.
