The server only sends you something like the first 48 buffs/debuffs/dots on the target even when it actually has 49+ buffs/debuffs/dots on it. If your debuff/dot ends up in position 49+ on the list no one is seeing it.
Idk how to tell you this, but how the UI interacts with the server is still a UI issue.

I know my timers well enough so that it doesn't affect me too badly.
