Druid run kiting DoTs nefed?

[Crusader]

I have further questions about the patch notes...Evidently the 18 sec rule is controlling on the amount of damage the DoT does. So, if you run/kite for 15 secs, then root the mob for the remainder of the fight, supposedly the damage is actually increased over what it would be normally...but if the root breaks after 3 secs the damage somehow reverts to normal damage...but if it breaks after 6 secs and the mob runs it suddenly reduces, unless the mob is running away due to low health..at which time the damage after that becomes normal damage....(this is not what the damage messages indicate) and I believe this is why the run/kite rule was repatched at some point to eliminate this ridiculous damage computation. I do not remember any druid having to kite like this...and I was specifically attuned to DoT damage "adjustments" by Verant)
