Wind Dancer not stacking properly?

while getting hit in combat repeatedly, wind dancer does not grant stages for the buff to trigger gale force, which should be gained every 1.3 seconds currently for me.

i can go 10 seconds or more without seeing the buff icon pop up, so gale force never triggers.

not sure if getting hit before the 1.3 second mark is consuming '0' stages and resetting cooldown, but makes using wind dancer pointless for big groups

I have same problem, being hit before you get a stack resets the timer
