Poison/Disease Status effect

Can anyone elaborate on what either one does? I had assumed previously that poison inflicts a DoT, and disease decreases the target's ability to heal, but the tooltip description of the poison morph for Snipe suggests that poison decreases healing. Anybody have any insight on this?
In order of conception:

    They are damage types. This is why a tooltip will say a skill inflicts "X Poison damage per second for X seconds," etc. It is the paper rock scissors of damage/resist.

    Certain damage types may have a tendency to be used with certain types of skills, but the extra effects are skill-specific afaik.
