Fiery Embrace Broken for Tankers

I build my tank about 1 week ago as Fire/Fire I seen that no info on Fiery Embrace or did anything when use on my tank. I picked it to have DPS and just fun to play so far. But a power that doesn't work that is not.

FE adds extra Fire damage to all your attacks, and does not show up in the monitor as +Damage.

Yeah. Test it yourself.

Turn off Blazing Aura and all other damage-causing powers. Find a single enemy of around your level; bosses are better (gray enemies will die too fast for this test to be clearly visible).

Now hit him with ONE un-boosted attack and watch the damage number over his head, NOT the damage bonus number on the "combat attributes monitor." The damage will also report to a chat tab that's set to show combat results.

Now hit Fiery Embrace and use THE SAME attack you just used. Don't use other attacks; you don't need to kill this guy quickly; you can take a few hits, you're a Tank. Watch the damage number over his head. Where in the first test it said something like, in the case of Incinerate, "29 29 29 29 29 29 29 29," now it will say "29 13 29 13 29 13 29 13 29 13 29 13 29 13 29." Those 13s are the bonus fire damage from Fiery Embrace.

You'll have a vaguely similar problem when you use Burn -- Burn doesn't report damage to your "combat" chat tab, but to a channel called "pet combat" which you can add to your combat chat tab or to its on separate tab if you prefer. But if you were checking chat for Burn damage you wouldn't see it reported where you'd expect it, even though it's plainly visible in actual combat.
