Becuase of the way HOTs and DOTs work, you get 3 ticks in 2 seconds, one tick for the first 1/3rd of the heal instantly on hit (applying the buff) and two 1/3rd ticks at 1 second and 2 seconds. If your attack speed is slightly under 1 second, you will effectively get 50% more healing, because you will reproc the effect just after the 1 second, which reapplies the buff and initial tick. TLDR: you actually get 0-50% MORE healing than stated due to the tick mechanics (when AS is <1 per second). Now if your AS is HIGHER than 1 per second, you will get that reproc sooner, again giving you increased healing, up to 2.5x at max AS.
