In that case the definition of effect formula 122 must be wrong.
Splurt has a min/base value of 1 for its spell effect, so the original formula was probably simply
(12*tick) - 1, which would result in the same sequence as grimjaw posted.
Curse of the Spirits (shaman epic click) also uses the same formula with a min/base value of 1, and according to
this its sequence was the same.

It does not do 179 the last tick. It does twice at the end.

Although an
earlier post claims the extra tick was 179, it seems more likely that, given the formula, a spell with a fixed duration would produce the same damage as its final tick on the extra tick.
Another post about splurt (after the extended duration focus effect was changed to increased damage) corroborates this (note the damage on the extra tick).

The issue of an extra tick on dots/hots probably deserves another thread. I don't know what evidence led to it being
intentionally removed 3 years ago, but many anecdotes show that it was possible.
