I messaged you to invite but you must of been AFK in mistmoore or ignoring me
tbh i'm not exactly sure how it works I haven't played this game in 20+ years
All I do know is that you won't do normal melee swings (autoattack) during spell casting and the longer you cast the more likely you will get interrupted. you can still use special attacks like kick or backstab or frenzy while casting.
the way spell power scaling works you already are doing more DPS by casting low level spells than you are trying to cast longer cast time spells so i think it's purely an academic exercise anyway
I'm a sk/shm/rog and the vast majority of my dps comes from dots.
I start with the higher level dots and work down to the lower ones. I even use dot procing augs and both my weps have dot procs (sk epic, vulak dagger). I been able to kill sleeper before the adds like 200 spell damage ago.

I believe for dots it spreads it across the whole duration, not per each tick. Something I need to look at is how that functions on dots that have an initial DD component on cast, if it loads up that on cast DD part with the full SP and then also spreads it across the rest of the ticks.

The reason lower level spells are spammed instead of higher levels spells is purely due to Sympathetic Strike. Mana efficiency has some part to play, sure. But if I can get 3 Symp Strikes off in the same time it takes me to cast the 3.5s mega nuke, it's much better to land more Symp Strikes.

AoW down, still mad I didn't lay on hands the first time i fought him but he went down rather efficiently didnt really seem like I was ever in any real trouble, I kept delaying heals hoping he would get me low so I could pop LoH but I also didn't wanna be too risky, he never really 1-rounded me to the point where I could "oh shit" pop it. Finally "safely" got low (around 20%) and used it.
ended the fight with 40% mana
I also tried sleeper but he punked me once the warder spawned, got the add down to like 15% but died due to dmg from the 2 mobs hitting me, kera was only around 70% health.

i'm not sure how it works for DoTs but here's what it looks like in game:
Clinging Darkness, no initial DD, does 8 dmg every 6 seconds for 48 seconds, with 191 Spell power = 103 dmg per tick
Infectious Cloud (AOE dot), 20 dmg Initial DD, does 5 dmg every 6 seconds for 2min6secs, with 191 spell power = 211 initial dmg, 100 dmg per tick.
so it looks like i'm getting exactly 95 spell power per tick of my 191 (roughly 50%) applied to the dot every tick, regardless of duration of the DoT/number of ticks AND i'm getting full spell power dmg from the initial DD portion.
this is on my newest character lvl 32 SK/Shm/Nec with no AAs yet, there are a TON of DoT related AAs going to be interesting to see how powerful this guy will get especially as mob health continues to scale up

It starts at 25% for sure, and i think its 60 seconds to get him down before the adds spawn. So wait on burn cooldowns till then.
Apologize, one of two things, wife needed me or testing some different UI configs - I'll be on later this evening, or I can give you a /tell in game - what's your current char name ?
