There was an obvious change to the spell system which caused this spell for malfunction for a time. Both patch notes prove this.

These 2 patch notes conclude that not only did this spell system change take effect, but also that this spell was faulty for a time. Nothing about them can ever, in any way, be taken to indicate that these spells should have a dispellable recourse. Using this as evidence or using it to try to imply it was dispellable in classic only builds great strength in my argument that an exploit is being desperately defended.

Here's how this went:
You suggest that because of the patch note you linked, the spell could be dispelled up until the point that note is listed as "can once again dispel".

I then posted mine to make a proof against your defense by absurdity... that I clearly recall this spell's heal component working in classic but absolutely broke and required a fix as part of the spell system change. Why in my right mind would I ever try to say that this spell did not heal up until the date listed? To that same degree, why are you trying to do the same saying it should be dispellable? You are pinned here.

The broken heal and the non dispellable factor are both unintended and in no way reflect the classic time line, nor do they suggest anything in regards to how it worked on live vanilla through Velious.

Stop defending broken server mechanics : /. Something broke with the recourse mechanic as a result of a spell system change and was fixed.... not something went unnoticed until then. The patch note you are currently using as a defense means: its correct functionality was restored (the correct and classic mechanic -- it must hurt the necro!).

My memory, apparently, is pretty damned good and I have proof of playing during this era =).

I've PM'd Zyrino (boards: Zyrin) here who won the Rallos Zek necromancer best of the best (and got pretty damned far against the overgeared bluebies) to drop his knowledge hard upon this thread. You can tell him he doesn't know what he's talking about instead, /popcorn.
