When they were hitting 99-110, 146 SS took them to 102-113. So, since it's a multiplier of damage, the base damage you're doing with no SS also affects how much SS it takes to see a difference
Yep the base damage effects how much skill speed it takes to see an increase since it's a % increase. About 82 skill speed is a 1% increase in DoT damage, but since DoTs do so little damage you won't really notice a 1% increase (I.E if your DoT's are doing 50 damage per tic a 1% increase is 0.5 damage which would basically mean no increase, while doing 100 per tic a 1% increase would increase the damage by 1).
