As an aside, I think you've supported the view you oppose by posting:
Spell Duration: Unknown
Duration Formula: 10
If the duration was intended to be static, a static number would be listed. To state that the duration is unknown and rather that a duration formula is applied, would to me evidently state that there are other determining factors involved in calculating the max duration and the chance to break early. I would also suggest you look at "Raw Spell Data" and scroll through the numerous unknown values associated with many of these spells. Can you explain what any of these mean and apply them to how the duration of the spell works?
I'd think not. Nor can the Dev's know for absolute certain that any certain mechanic is functioning 100% as it was on Live, but they do their best to recreate how they remember it. As has been stated MANY times before - it is not their job to provide irrefutable evidence to debase their own decisions. That job falls on the players whom think something is being done incorrectly. So, start digging and post back when you've found something that's usable.
