    Because DOTS are sustained damage and sustained damage does not fit well in the 2 minute burst meta. So instead of having jobs that have DOTS or rely on Dots for 10% or more of their overal damage it is much easier to get rid of them. Plus for large scale content such as 24 mans or exporation content. A boss can only have 72 debuffs/dots applied. This helps lower the chance of hitting that cap.

    DoT damage is snapshotted in XIV. The 2-minute bursts of raid-buffs could last all of 2 GCDs and DoTs lasting for 15 GCDs could still take full advantage of them.
