I can only answer the first one: if the damage being reflected comes from the source with life steal, then the source will be healed.
E.g. an elite pack with Reflect Damage + Vampiric. A portion of the damage they reflect back to you will heal them.
For Exploding Palm, I will assume it does recover you if you run life steal. It'll be easy to test. Just run no LoH, no passive life regeneration, no life after kill, and use strictly Exploding Palm with life steal and see if you heal from the Bleed effects and aftereffects of the explosion.
I figured the reflect worked that way. Sucks to be MoR. The most worthless Mantra ever...skill sever.
As for Exploding Palm, I just tested that each tick from EP's bleed procs Life Steal. The explosion is the problem for me because I don't seem to see it magically "potion" me up when it happens in the middle of an Act 3 mob (I don't have the dmg/heal numbers on because I like to play old school style). If the explosion does proc...that'd be awesome especially with the upcoming buff of 50% life.
tho against reflect dmg mobs EP can instagib you easy, because the lifesteal healing has a delay, RD doesnt. so you get gibbed, before the healing kicks on.
I actually died once by this. It was a champ and I just focused fired on it. I didn't really pay attention if it had RD because RD barely damages me. When it blew up though, it literally cleared the entire screen, minions and me included. Fun times.
Does reflected damage proc life steal?
Does the explosion from Explosive Palm proc life steal?
