reported dot damage was added into the patch of june 11 2003.
dot duration ending messages have been in the game since launch. they did make sure ALL dots reported correctly in 2005 which wasnt the case previously.
the patch of sept 26th 2002 included this line
The "Your XXX Spell Has Worn Off" messages for DoT spells will now go
to the right character.
that certainly implies they were in previously however buggy
after spending most of a shift reading patch messages between actual work i can say there are no other patch messages between launch and dec 2007 that mention dot duration reporting other than the few already referenced.
