Had this same thing happen to me but only with certain enemies, I think. It's been a bit random for me. I'm going to see if I can test this a bit.

What I was about to post just before Ranylyn posted. After reading that previous post, that would explain it. Monsters are stupid and only use an AOE if they can directly target a player with it, so someone, likely you, will always be in the middle. You have about a 25% chance to not get hit by it if you have both dodges still, because assuming Sear works like Ranylyn's saying, you step out of the center into more damage and then step into yet another damage registry if you don't step back into the center on the second dodge.

I'm still going to test this a bit though.
