I just realized that I hardly pay attention to the comparison of DOT skill cooldowns/damage and such, so the skills I design may be a bit unintentionally OP. However, this is all just in good fun.
Serious skills

Well, honestly, it'd LOOK super-badass... but you'd still be having far more effect using it on something like Dragonfire Dive instead.
So another one, much less broken this time around:
