'Roar of the Lion' proc not functioning on range attacks

The title pretty much sums it up, however I'm curious if there is any possible way to remedy this.

The description is as such:

(Note that it doesn't specifically say 'Melee' attacks to proc the damaging effect)

Unfortunately the only class this directly affects is Rangers at the moment since 95% of the time we are now ranged damage dealers. But, I'm still hoping that some attention can be brought to this, as it is quite a significant amount of damage that is being missed out on.

Testing the depths of it's damage under burns I can see it crit for 100k most of the time, chalk that up to 100-200 procs per raid event and that amounts to quite a bit of damage lost simply because we have to range to inflict maximum damage. Also before the argument is made for "well why don't you melee to get the proc to go off", the damage still isn't comparable to range damage without the proc.

Thank you for your time.
