Thoughts?

Yeah at level 30 none of your DoTs save for snare are going to efficient or practical in any kind of good group. However soon you'll be getting shorter duration high damage DoTs like Venom of the Snake and Asystole that are perfect for grouping. Until then focus on nukes and group utility while learning how to control your pet well.
