I am curious about the thought process behind calling it a DoT "for the sake of having one".

Any DoT which cannot both unique give and be given gameplay opportunities via their surrounding kit can pretty well be called a "DoT for the sake of having a DoT".

How easy it is to "slide in" to the kit means nothing if it doesn't also provide anything more than... a DoT.

Fair, and I too would much prefer any DoTs for DPS have associated mechanics -- especially since SMN already corners the market on maintaining DoT effects for their own sakes.

And I swear we came to this exact same conclusion 10 or so pages back...

Ha, probably so. My post links keep getting jostled around, it seems, by random mod deletions of posts I'd quoted in turn removing my posts as well, so it's getting hard to check my history when the links break down. And since the New Posts button is the only way I get back to any thread and my memory in this regard is rather poor, that was pretty necessary.
Edit: Only finding the discussion on status effects and diminishing returns within the last month or so. I remember that from much earlier on, too, though... iirc.
