PPM and Carrion Creepers

Any idea how PPM will affect something like Creepers (which I realize is a very unusual power)?

No one has any idea?

Do pet drop powers like Rains and Storms still fire every 10 seconds? Is that factored into the PPM formula in any way?

The basic idea behind enhancements in pet powers is as follows:
For every power P the pet has, look at all the enhancements in the power that summoned the pet. If their type is one that could be slotted in power P, P counts as having that enhancement slotted.

So, basically, starting at http://tomax.cohtitan.com/data/power...rrion_Creepers I can find four actual attacks.
The vines have Vine Smash, which'll take slow, KB, and damage procs, and Vine Thorns, which takes Slow and Damage.
The base creeper patch has Bramble, taking slow procs.
And the creepers that spawn on dead bodies have Entangle, taking Immobilize or Damage procs.

For each power, work out the PPM proc's final % chance as per the usual PPM formula, and every time one of the pets uses that power, that's the % chance. Notably, Bramble and Entangle are auto powers, and thus should use a 10s cycle time in the PPM formula.
