Just as a stunn+ dd is good aggro so too is slow + dot. You are correct in thinking that each dot tick adds hate. Will post more coherent thoughts after work.
To whoever said that lifetap made good threat, this was not my experience on live.

I tend to agree with this threat/proc tier list. However, I'm curious as to what you would say about the weapons that might have a proc that has components from 2 different tiers? I've thought of this before and I've never had an organic opportunity to bring it up.
For instance, wavecrasher has a slow and dot components in one proc. Anecdotally, I want to say that I notice a giant jump in threat level immediately upon proccing the wc, so it seems to me that the slow portion generates threat independently of the dot since the dot doesn't even need to tick to see an immediate snap of agro. Furthermore, I considered weapons that just have dot procs and I noticed that these weapons seem to generate a long series of threat spikes corresponding with the dot ticks instead of one large threat dump like you see on the dd/stun/slow. Personally, I noticed this when using infestation. Specifically if I hadn't snapped agro immediately upon proc that I would snap agro nearly the instant its dot would actually tick its 1st/2nd/3rd/etc. round of damage.
If it's additive or cumulative at all, weapons like the wavecrasher should be in a unique tier above any weapon that exclusively has a dot component or slow component proc. I couldn't think of another weapon with a proc like that so that's why I use wc as my example, if there are others feel free to differentiate accordingly. Again, this is just something I noticed and wondered about to myself before, if anyone has anything they could add or point out, feel free.
Other than that, I would consider the edited list from OP to be accurate and pretty darn useful.
