I don't think so. The spell duration gives us some insight into the designer's intentions. If they wanted it to be short duration, they could've made it a short duration spell, like Mez and Roots.

It seems like common sense that when you have NPCs that are overtuned for their level (more HP and DPS than a player) to make up for their deficits in AI and predictable behavior, and you give the player the ability to take control of that NPC, you should probably nerf that NPC in some way now that its not under the control of predictable AI . This never occurred to them. But then again they thought druids deserved a 10% heal nerf, and no heals past level 29 all the way through Kunark. Great vision, but not so good on the details.
