After a lot of homework it does seem that the duration to 1 minute was done on august 27th, 2002.... during PoP or right before it.
It's very difficult not to get irritated with this, since while reading up on those changes, I noticed a lot of stuff that other classes are benefiting from that are not classic at all.
For example, the same patch that increased the duration of lvl 39 charm to 1 minute and gave it a 60 mana cost instead of 20, also introduced dot stacking so that more than one druid could cast drones of doom on the same mob, and that stinging swarm would not be overwritten by drones of doom, and so forth and so on. The only dots that were excluded from this change were the ones with a debuff component, like the bard ones.
cheers
