0854: Focus shield power ticks multiply when casting too soon

Description

When you cast a focus damage shield, there is a power cost tick every 5 seconds (as intended). But if you cancel your focus shield and cast another focus shield before the point at which you would have paid for another tick, the power tick of the first focus shield is not canceled. This results in the power ticks of both spells being active at once, but only having one effective focus shield buff.

Reproduction Steps

1. Cast a focus damage shield on a pet
2. Cast another focus damage shield as a follow up
3. See that your power is being drained twice in a 5 second period

Intended Behavior

When a focus shield is cast, the power cost of any previously cast focus shields should never be added to the current one.

Evidence

If a focus shield is no longer active, it should not continue to cost power.
