Burning Embers (Searing Strike morph)

Deals 14 Fire Damage, and deals 56 Fire Damage over 8.5 seconds. Heals for 36% of damage inflicted when effect ends.

Anyone know how this skill works?

If something dies before 8.5 seconds has passed, do you still get healed from the damage done so far or no heala t all until effect has run it's course?
