I believe that's because maim causes a bleed proc and not constant damage over the AoE. New enemies entering the radius become inflicted with the proc and all inflicted enemies cannot receive another proc until you deactivate and reactivate the ability. You should be relying more on the damage stored through killing enemies in the AoE rather than the bleed effect.
