Or you could just learn how the DoTs work. Even if there's no damage on application then the next three seconds would have a tick so clipping would be bad.

WoW actually remedied the clipping of dots by adding extra ticks from the old DoT when you apply a new one. Currently it works for a third of the DoTs duration.
