The 18 second comment is merely a balance concern.
IE This:
prenerf-DoT = 60s duration, 100 DMG a tick = 1000 DMG prenerf
postnerf-DoT = 60s duration, 120 DMG a tick = 1200 DMG postnerf
However if you kited for 3 ticks 120*2/3=80 = 1080 DMG postnerf
However if you kited for all ticks = 800 DMG postnerf
Not a perfect example but that is what it means.
