DoTs bugged ?

After playing my mentalist a bit in NF I noticed that my DoT-spells stop ticking after I die. I'm pretty sure that in OF DoTs would tick for their full duration, even after the caster died, thus getting the occasional death-spam while dead allready.
I noticed that same thing when testing on Gorre aswell, and when i reported it as bug i got a " we will investigate the matter" reply.
Now, my question is: does anyone know if this is working as intended or bugged ? Maybe my memory is playing tricks on me and it always was that way ? Or maybe the dots continue ticking, and I just no longer get the "You hit x for y damage" messages after i die.

If anyone has any info on this, then please help me out :)

AFAIK they are meant to keep ticking for the full duration after they've landed, regardless of whether the caster dies or not. If they're stopping when you die, sounds like a bug to me.

Wasn't there a bug where when you died from a dot (casted by a already dead caster) you would suffer a pve death (with con loss)?
Maybe they 'fixed' it :p
