This meaning that it only applies to the final tick of each cast and thus means that we have to be much more careful about clipping said dots.

I could be wrong, but that's how it was explained to me in game by an FC member, makes more sense than changing the entire server wide system to accommodate for individual spell speed of each character.
I don't think either of your theories have been mentioned. In fact, I'm pretty sure they haven't said anything about it, more than say that Skill/spell speed will see a change, and that DoTs will be affected.

It's all just speculation.

It is a big step for them to change the current world clock though like you said, and I too think it's going to be something like that... Although I would rather it just increased the damage on all ticks then, because it would just make SMN even more annoying if you have to be that certain to not clip the last tick, and it wouldn't help their burst on adds that die before the DoTs are done.

We just have to wait and see
