I think that they should add an increased focus to dots in general, adding more to the game, and making the a bigger focus for at least one class. We need a class that is specifically designed to deal their primary damage by dot.

The same goes for hot. We should have a healing class who's primary focus is healing with hots.

Just my 2 gils' but I did like the OP post as well.
This, while a more detailed description, is exactly what I wanted to convey in the OP. If they should be shown in the combat log, they should also show each tick of damage. To further that, it should be shown in the floating battle test as well.
