Dots do not proceed weapon enchants.
Elemental Blockade is not a dot.
When the tooltip says damage over X seconds it's a dot
When tooltip says damage every X seconds it's direct damage.

Poisons proc 20% of the time on weapon abilities, light, and heavy attacks, and have an Internal Cooldown of 10s.
Enchantments always proc, but have an Internal Cooldown. (4s for damaging Glyphs, 10s for Effect Glyphs)

For example, I've been testing on the dummy and using a damage enchant is a slight dps increase with the new changes. My question is, say if I'm fighting a pve boss, and there are adds around...will the damage enchant hit the boss if procced with blockade?
Basically, I'm thinking it may not actually be a damage increase if we can't control which target the enchant hits when procced with blockade. For bosses that is

So if my enchants are just going to hit random adds, I'll just keep my spell damage enchant on backbar. I guess the only way to find out is to go solo some norm dungeon bosses with adds and look at metrics. Just thought someone would know in the meantime :P
@Avran_Sylt
I did test the alchemical poisons proc'ing ... I don't know if it's my armor set, monster set, or what, but alchemical poisons definitely proc ... let's say "differently" ... I didn't notice just how 'differently' this was until a little while ago when scrutinizing my combat log for when/how often/which targets alchemical poisons proc. on.
Since I may have found a (potentially) exploitable bug, I'll make an in-game report after I do a bit more testing. That being said, I'll withdraw that part of my previous comment having to do with 'what' procs alchemical poisons.

Shouldn't spread misinformation. Blockade is affected by Master at Arms(who knows why) but.. skills like Endless Hail, Hurricane, Blade Cloak, Razor Caltrops, Rending Slash Bleed, Poison Injection Posion over time are all DoT's affected by Thaumaturge and they all have different ways of spelling the tooltip. Do not trust tooltips, even the calculation is off where skills like Blade Cloak were being affected in the tooltip by master at arms and not Thaumaturge, but saw no benefit from master at arms.
There are some weird situations like blade cloak proccing dmg enchants with the damage every 3 seconds, but it won't work if the first hit of blade cloak doesn't proc the enchantment, it has to hit from the first part of the buff or else the other hits wont proc it at all. It isn't reliable. There is only 2 skills that proc them from DoT's like Liofa said. After patch 19, endless hail and blockade will proc the DMG enchantment from the bar its cast on instead of updating when you switch.

He’s not spreading mis-information. Everything he said was correct. I’m not sure why you said blockade is effected by master at arms (who knows why) when, he literally just told you why lol. Blockade is direct damage. Anything that does x damage every second is direct damage. Do blockade does 1000 damage every 1 second that is direct damage. When something does 1000 damage over x seconds, it is a dot. That is 100% accurate. Endless hail does not get any benefit from Tham, it is direct damage. Rending slashes on the other hand does benefit from Tham
Bc it does damage over a certain amount of time. The tool tip doesn’t spell anything out different. If it does the same amount of damage every second it’s up it’s direct damage, if it does one amount of damage over a period of time, it’s a dot.
