you wont need to duel him if he is tefed, and yes he will incap 3 times and wake up from his nap and have a tracked death..
You need to have a CM duel you while you have the jedi within the DoTs area effect range, since you can´t target him up there.
Poison/Disease Combo does incap you 3 times in a row, since the max. number of "ticking" points is estimated by the pool size when the
poison hits. The disease afterwards decreases the max pool, makeing the poison tick into the negative numbers.
You will die as well unless you have cure kits handy.
The fact that it does kill is a bug/flaw, the application of DoTs through (invisible) walls as well, and if done on purpose it
*might* be considered to be an exploit or griefplay, so I would not try that actually.

I would agree that it might be considered an exploit, but quite frankly I would be cheering from the sidelines. I consider rooftop afk macroing a worse crime.
Does not really differ from macroing any other prof, either with ingameor with 3rd-party tools.
And to ease your mind a little - the XP gain from it isn´t really a killer. An Initiate needs roughly 10 days 24hr-afk-macroing to fill a 4th box,
so he won´t be "Master in 5 days" without any work or risk.
Killing Meatlumps afk to gain loot and credits isn´t any better, since that actually takes it away from newbies for whom those mobs are meant.
So calm down, no need to be jealous, or angry about an unreachable mission target.

I know the xp gain is pathetic (thank the lord). I am a jedi (4223). The reason I dislike the rooftop afk macroing is because it adversely affects BHs. I agree 100% with BHs on this. There's a first.
As long as the droids aren´t working and the BH actually has to FIND the jedi (other then "just" locate) thats a point. As soon as they do, it
weakens a bit. On the other hand, the Jediwouldn´t have been online if not afk, thus not huntable as well. Discussable though.
The point I have it that while afk-macroing may be a cheap style, using the CM-method is definately griefplay. The whole setup makes
it almost impossible to do it unintended. I rate griefplay, be it for pure personal fun or outa frustration, way worse then being unattackable
at the drawback of being unable to run away.
The chance that the CM-kill is seen as an exploit and/or offense is also way higher as for the macro thing.
What about I sit in a private house, afk, to let me visibility decay (assuming it lowers with playtime) ? I have an advantage as well,
and any BH comming for me won´t get me, not even with a CM.
We are walking on thin ice here, both sides have arguments.Maybe we can an offical statement on both issues, might not satisfy us,
but at least we know what we are up to.
