"as long as i can remember reducing the duration reduced the number of damage ticks with no other effect. essentially it reduces overall damage done. it's always been that way as far as i know, ever since Fleeting Expertise was released.  "

I don't know when it was, but it was quite a while ago when Miasma was changed. At least a 11 months ago, a little after Fleeting Expertise was released.

The damage of the ticks increases with lower durations, balancing out the damage. However, there's always an extra tick of damage, so you end up with more damage at lower durations.
