What I've noticed it takes 15 seconds or so for the spell to actually go off, at which point the status will go away. Since you're effectively putting down a proximity mine I believe the spell stays there if you stay in the immediate area and something wanders into the AOE. I played around with it a little recently and it seemed to work that way.

Oh it's going to have an instant cast now? That's fine with me. I'm assuming they will possibly be more potent now with the battle changes as well. The new shared increased recast is probably to balance this.
Apparently one of the other language's patch notes say they are insta-cast instead of single target.
