So, if I slot the contagious confusion proc in a no aggro confuse power like say, synaptic overload or mass confusion and the proc goes off, will the mobs notice me?

I can't seem to find the answer in a search and the wiki never has info on oddities of procs like this.

Yes, it will cause aggro.

Oddly, I haven't noticed this (I have it slotted in Confuse), but then again it's entirely possible that any aggro generated as a result of the firing of the proc is being concealed by the fact that the affected mob is immediately confused and I haven't waited long enough to see if they would come after me once the confuse wears off.

This is incorrect. The proc from contagious confusion will not cause aggro. I have used it on both my mind and illusion controllers, in confuse and deceive respectively. It will never notify enemies.
