Diablo – Do monk AoE abilities count as hits for “Life on Hit” items

diablo-3

I'm wondering if hits inflicted by abilities doing AoE damage (in particular the Monks Sweeping Wind and Crippling Wave) count as hits for "Life on Hit" properties?

They do, however, there does seem to be some sort of reduction in the effectiveness of vampiric effects when triggered by area-effect spells. The exact amount varies, but this is easy to verify in game if you switch between a single target and area spell.
