Looks like my problem lies in the required updates in the git folder. I found this one that seems to be just what I need
== 07/10/2014 ==
Kayen: Updated table npc_spells to now support defensive and ranged procs.
Note: Proc rate modifier work as it does for spell effects (ie 200 = 200% baseline chance modifier)
Table is also now contains 12 AI spell casting variables that can be set to fine tune casting behaviors per spell set.
Global default rules have also been added that can further fine tune all content if no specific variables are set.
Descriptions of new AI casting fields in npc_spells
'fail_recast' AI spell recast time(MS) when an spell is cast but fails (ie stunned)
'engaged_no_sp_recast_min' AI spell recast time(MS) checked when no spell is cast while engaged in combat. (min time in random)
'engaged_no_sp_recast_max' AI spell recast time(MS) checked when no spell is cast while engaged in combat. (max time in random)
'engaged_b_self_chance' Chance during first AI Cast check to do a beneficial spell on self (ie check to heal self)
'engaged_b_other_chance' Chance during second AI Cast check to do a beneficial spell on others.(ie check to heal others)
