That's incorrect if we're all reading it correctly. It's
not being based on whether YOU the player are moving. It's
being based on whether the mob is moving. So the argument
above stands. If you pull with a DOT spell and the mob
is running towards you - the DOT isn't doing any damage.

And again, long term damage is not as preferred to me as
damage done up front. I'd prefer to have a lot of damage
in the beginning and end the fight faster rather than
the DOT lasting longer.
