Mana Coil behavior is inconsistent/unclear

This probably applies to other "on spell hit" procs as well.
As AM: Flame, Manathrust, Fireflash, Chain lightning and Thuderstorm proc, Flameshock and Lightning do not
As PM: Dust to Dust, Temporal Bolt, and Rethread proc, Stop does not
It seems like beams and bolts (except Lightning) proc mana coil, but area of effect spells may or may not, and I don't understand what determines the behavior. I don't see why Fireflash should proc, but Flameshock and Stop should not. Also, while we don't want mana coil to proc itself, if you cast Lightning because you know the spell and use it, you should still get a chance to proc the mana coil from that cast of Lightning IMO, while instances of Lightning cast by mana coil procs should not have an additional chance to proc.
