Hope this helps.

Yes, that is how I calculated it. If you are using a 3.9 speed weapon it would be much higher than 34%. I believe the formula indicates 78% for a 3.9 speed weapon (which is what I said above).
I only tested it a bit (again I can only say I saw no reason to doubt conventional wisdom, certainly my testing is not sufficient). I stopped testing because the next fight I hit the wrong button on my watch and cleared the time :(
For what it is worth:
74 seconds
14 procs
This comes out to (with this small data size):
11.38 PPM
Absurdly small data sample, but I lost a bit of interest seeing as it was very much within expected range and others have done these tests more rigorously.
I still would like to get some numbers on Light and Wisdom seals -- may have to try harder with them as I don't know the conventional wisdom.
Edit:
I just had an interesting thought. For the Thrash blade (2.7 speed), the proc chance for SoR is 54%. However, my guess is that the extra attacks that it gives would mean you would actually get more than 12 PPM with SoR. This logic also extends to SoC. Depends on how the code is implemented -- worth testing.
When I get mine, I will have to try it out. (I know, level 51 and haven't done ZF or Maraudon).
