Also Disease/Poison doesn't inherently resist any easier than say Fire or Cold, the reason why people remember resisting Disease/Poison dots frequently is because spells like E-Bolt and Plague have a direct damage and and a dot component, and that was explained by Abashi to be 2 chances to resist before a spell landed. Druid roots work on the same principle -- DD + the spell effect can resist and the spell fails to land.
So if you're running around with say 100 PR you're likely to resist a spell because it had two chances to snag, instead of one like most other spells, plus dots can't partial like nukes can.

Again I know this is PVP bug forum, but some of these changes might make blue.
This almost sounds/feels right. Poison dots resisted a-lot more often and were costly to use consistently on a higher con mob that wasn't de-buffed. It is a reason we had on the raid a dedicated De-buffing shaman and enchanter, + maybe bard.
Only problem I have is, it seems like it might already be this way(Resist check on DD, then Dot and maybe I am wrong since I can't see/read the code). Poison dots already do resist quite a-lot. Ask any Shaman or Necro leveling,not sure how druid fire dots resist currently maybe Daldaen can tell us, and enchanter dots were resisted a-lot unless mob was tashed first, they can't even use their poison dots for 5+ levels due to resists. Malo/Tash/Mala/Bard resist de-buffs on live went a long way, and most good Sham/Chanter/Mage would de-buff every mob(speaking of blue+ con, Green's should not require de-buffing).
Disease dots would fall into this as well, but most mobs had a low disease resist and so they landed most often without a de-buff. Shaman never used the disease de-buff(outside of pvp servers) until the Disease slows entered the game. It just wasn't needed. Only specific named and undead/plagued mobs should have a disease resist high enough to reliably resist a disease dot.
Again I apologize if all of the changes Haynar is considering making are limited to PVP server, but I have a feeling they are not, so I just wanted to point these things out.
