I'm not the person you were quoting but I'd like to add my personal reasons in liking DoTs.
  • It complements SCH's image of being a hybrid poison-mage
  • I like seeing my debuff icon on the boss. The more the better!
  • Having most of DPS source stems from DoT damage is actually more forgiving than the one nuke ala Broil which punishes you the more Broil casts you fail to squeeze in. DoT ticks while you're (not) doing something, nukes don't. Of course they should still leave at least one nuke button for us to press once we have applied all our hypothetical DoT buttons.
