DoT damage per tick messages were implemented alongside a ton of other features like seeing pet buffs, getting messages when they wore off, etc. As a longtime Necro, I consider these features indispensable.
Still, I would argue that if we're tossing those things, we should toss DoT messages too. I don't really have a strong opinion, but it should at least be consistent. And if we're going this hardcore with the classic theme, I'd also argue that we should toss global chat, increase spell scribe times exponentially, allow crafting containers to destroy items, etc. Otherwise, selective feature reverts feel arbitrary and punishing.
