I am not a fan of DoT skills, and they seem to get way too much love and attention recently. Why not just make cold/self-cast better? Why do fire cold poison all have to deal damage over time, as mentioned by multiple people?

I was looking for reasons to play a proper self-caster in PoE that can compete with other zoom zoom builds, but this isn't it.

I believe that PoE trumped Diablo 2, but if there's anything that could be learned from or implemented in PoE is how great the Sorceress' self-cast cold skills felt (think Frozen Orb/Blizzard). This just looks like a lousy slow aoe madness.
