I knew someone would get it eventually!
I'll see if I can use it as is for now and get back to you if it becomes a
big inconvience or issue. It's just kind of counter-productive to be
working on something and getting 10 pages in a row.
I suppose I can also build out the DEPENDS stuff to limit the backscatter
from a downed item.
Thanks for the response Henrik.

Not possible.
The Hobbit alert module doesn't really have the concept of "page
groups"; if you want to compare with BB, it behaves like the BB
pager with "pagetype" set to "EVENT". Each recipient configured
to receive an alert for a specific HOST.TEST combination gets all
alerts; there is no way of configuring Hobbit to send max. N
alerts to a given recipient in a 15-minute period.
I'm not saying that is the optimum solution for everyone, and it
might be changed if you can convince me there is enough people
who need it - but so far, you're the first one to ask for such
a feature.
