Poison dots will depend, usually on the level of the content, early game dots can be pretty nasty relative to our healing kit at that point and are often worth dispelling, whereas a poison dot in an end game expert generally can be covered entirely by incidental healing from the likes of Asylum and Assize and thus really aren't worth worrying about.
Hot take(?) - I'd like debuffs to come back/actually matter. A dot in ARR hurts because our hp bars are low and they tick off for like 10% of hp or more, a dot in higher levels - which are already few and far between - ticks for a pixel of hp and isn't even worth worrying about.

It's rather ironic that ARR, where healers are at their bare minimum, has more engaging/involved mechanics to watch out for, but as we level up and gain a whole arsenal of ogcds and cds to prepare for any mechanics... they're no longer there, or are applied exclusively if someone failed a mechanic, rather than just something the enemy does from time to time.
