Naw, this sort of thing has always been consistent. In the case of bard, you'd see the buff for ss scroll down, but the skill doesn't flash, and the proc doesn't get used despite the proc scrolling down your combat text beforehand. You also couldn't force a refresh for it; I had a video demonstrating just that and it wasn't fixed until our recent patch.
