Shaman Epic vs Hill Giants since Dot Ticks UI change

[Xenmir]

Every since the change that removed dot ticks messages from the UI chat window, i've noticed a change in the experience of playing my shaman. While root rotting hill giants in Rathe Mountains, I was previously able to kill a giant in 2 clicks of the epic and no other damage. Now, it seems to take 3. I distinctly remember that a rooted gianted would end up at ~44% hp after 1 click before this change, whereas now it seems to end up at around 63%. Am I crazy or has something else changed besides the removal of the tick messages.
