Dream within a Dream(hits 3 times from one cast) and Matra Magic (hits eight times from one cast) work that way, you can even see the difference between cast count and hit count on the forbidden logs site, and that if one of the multiple hits from a single cast is a crit or direct hit, the others aren't guaranteed to be.
