Need new event

Or an EVENT_HEALTH (as opposed to EVENT_HP so you could report mana etc too) as you suggested, but incorporate Lurker's idea of a timer. In other words, once the event is triggered, start a timer that won't allow it to be triggered again for a few seconds.

Wouldn't that satisfy both the need for the event and the concern for cpu/bandwidth conservation?

Also, although this has been discussed from a perl quest point of view, I would like to note that both formats are supported and any changes should work in both.
