Because of that i would think in many situations it would be better to make sure the DoTs are running when the boss jumps because DoTs tend to have higher overall potency. I also imagine in most fights the difference would be hard to notice, but im still curious.
It's a fight-specific situation. Some bosses do not take damage from dots when they become untargetable. Some do. Some still take dot damage after everyone dies. But in general I was trying to tie into with what Zyneste mentioned about being able to calculate whether it's a loss or gain in any given situation.
