3) Target moved out of line-of-sight - This is probably more like what you experience. The best example of being able to recreate this is with a Scholar. Tell the pet to stay and then walk behind objects and keep casting Psysick on it until one lands on you.
When that happened to me, I had tank selected as my target for a minute or more before 1 heal randomly landed on me, I was standing next to the tank and after this happening so many times I also tried moving out of range of tank and recreate it - if i go out of range and cast a heal it simply says Out of range and my char doesn't cast anything (i do not use any macros).
