Bugged Combat arts?

[Dobb]

Can anyone tell me if the CA's Stalk and Pounce are bugged?  Stalk's description tells me "stealths predator and reduces hate" but when I use it, it directly draws the targetted mob towards me. With Pounce nothing happens. I get no spell listed in my spell column and it doesn't seem to let me "attack 5 oppoents from the same encounter" Is anyone else getting these problems? Also, how do I tell if Blade Flurry is working? CHeers n Thanks all! <div></div>

If i recall correctly pounce is an arc aoe, which basically means it only hits the mobs in front of you.  Its not all that uncommon that i use this skill and only hit 1-2 mobs out of the 5 in the encounter.
