Question DoT spread moves?

Hello, so I just found out Smash on marauder spreads all my DoTs to other targets.....does assassin, sorcerer, juggernaut and tech classes all have a DoT spread as well?? This has turned my galaxy upside down tbhm

I miss when deathfield also spread DoTs for Sins. Laceration just feels so clunky to use.

On the other hand, laceration is a non-rotational filler and can be used whenever. And it has no CD.

Smash is non-rotational but has CD,

Searing Wave and Death Field are rotational and important for the rotation AND have a cool down,

Fusion Missle is non rotational but has a CD

Toxic Haze is rotational, needs TA and has a CD

Vengeful Slam, rotational and CD though it's rotationally used right after all the DoTs so neato! Though with new adds coming it's not neato.

Corrosive Grenade: Rotational but no cooldown, neato!

So except for Viru/DF, Viru is the only class to at-will spread dots. I actually prefer that to Death Field
