A lot of the power of DoTs is efficiency. Knowing when they are about to wear off or when to reapply other Debuffs such as fear, root or snare, makes them even more efficiency because you know precisely when to cast those Debuffs to optimize the amount of time they’re active each cast.
Removing the ability to see each DoT tick you can instead think of as a way to balance out those abilities. If you want to be efficient with them you need to get another system of keeping track of the time they’ve been on like mob HP or some other timer. Or you can accept a lower level of efficiency and root/fear/snare/reapply DoTs more often and overwrite these Debuff prior to them wearing off due to this new found lack of information.

You're talking to people who only think they can have "fun" if they are operating at peak possible efficiency as if this was a WoW dps rotation or something. Choices and nuance suck, they only want the raw math. Half of them would gladly play a black and white version of the game with a blank cutout as their character's avatar if it meant they got a 1% gain in damage or mana efficiency or loot.
