Procs in any area effect power, whether a damage aura, AoE attack or summoned area patch, make separate activation checks for each target in the area. Procs in a constant effect, like a toggle or rain, check once on initial cast and then every 10 seconds afterwards - so a proc in FR will have 2 chances to fire for each activation, as the patch lasts 15 seconds. Each time the proc 'fires' it will check against the targets currently in the patch - so theoretically if a target runs in immediately after casting and out again after 9 seconds, it won't have any chance of triggering the proc. Generally its best to count on the targets in the initial cast having a chance to fire off the proc and considering any you get the second time around to be a bonus.

Never slotted a "Rain" Power with Procs, so excuse this Noob-Question.
