Have you tested the assumption that on-tick dot damage does anything? My understanding of old material is that dot proc aggro was based on counters + initial dd.
if you want to scan through old forum posts, you can find a patch some years ago where the developers explicitly mentioned Disease Cloud being modified to add hate over time rather than front-loading everything. The large number of times I've seen monsters flip to the wife's shaman after a dot-tick if I'm being lazy on aggro confirms that behavior for other damage over time spells.
