I had the same idea but came up with a different solution...
Instead of changing perform violence, copy it for each extra hit that
players or mobs get, remove the spec proc from all but the last one for
mobs, and set each one up to do 1 hit if the player/mob can.  Add the calls
to these new functions after the perform violence call.

I haven't implemented this yet, but it's on the list.

Anyone out there know which way would be more memory efficient?  I know my
way results in duplicating alot of code but...
