Those are fringe cases, though. I don't imagine that anyone who sees fit to ask if JBB is any good is about to embark on an attempt at a WW dragon. For any ordinary shaman-soloable mob up to and including juggs, the fact that Malo doesn't reduce disease resist makes it necessary to consider whether or not it's worth using Pox at all. By and large, if you're able to kill the mob without using a disease dot, it's better not to. The risk of a resist, or the hassle of including Insidious Decay in your routine, makes it not worth doing in any fight that doesn't require min-maxing every moment of the encounter. Disease dots are not that much more efficient than poison dots, and a resist can fuck you over from the get-go.
