I just read about this spell and I see comments about how it work with the damage of dots, it seems that it reduce 50% the duration of dots but at same time reduce the speed between tiks, just at mangos is reducing both time and damage.

Obviously great for fighting other casters. Resistance and reduces magic durations in half.
This will make a shamans slow last shorter than their cooldown, the fears and stuns from locks and priests lasts shorter etc.

But there is one thing people need to realize:
50% duration is not the same as -50% damage taken from DoTs.
You would just have to reapply the DoTs more often. However, it helps great on DoTs with cooldown and procs (like ignite).
And also on DoTs that start with low damage, and then grow higher and higher. You'll end up only getting the lower ticks.

But remember to remove it if you get Living Bomb on you! :)

I was fighting a mage earlier via a random bg for luls and my mind flay speed was fast as hell, it's a shame it cuts it in half, as mind flay is considered completely periodic now.
