Both comments above are good...but my suggestion would be (after checking the condition and pressure in your rear tyre) to stiffen/harden your rear rebound damping slightly (maybe a click or two) and see how that effects it.
What you describe can be caused by (amongst other things) the rear suspension snaping back too quickly into its uncompressed state. Stiffening (or increasing) the rebound damping has the effect of not allowing the suspension to return as quickly from its compresssed state into its umcompressed state.
I don't really know that much about suspension, but I think a couple of good things to follow are:
1. Only ever adjust one thing at a time and then ride to see what the result is that you notice.
2. Keep notes with all the suspensions settings that you have tried and a comment on what you noticed.
Hey ressac, you know if you were going tomorrow you would be able to ask the suspension experts that will be down there to give people advise just like that!
