I heal for the same, my dots are resisted just as much, and they exactly the same damage as before. I want a T-shirt that says: "I made MCM and all I got was CL80"

Paralyze your target - make them sit still and behave for a bit.
Your dots and debuffs will have a chance to stick without you getting beat up in the meantime. (though the debuffs take priority for me over the dots).
The dots themselves won't kill a lot of stuff. But combined with a respectable combat profession, they can make a nice difference. There are always enhancers, but there are so few BE's (on our server at least) that they tend to not be very cost-efficient for their damage output.
CM is a -very- useful profession. You just have to break out of the mentality of pre-CU MCM, as it's an entirely different ballgame now. You won't be stacking dots that will tick for 1200 to everything within 35m now. You will, however, debuff a target (and keep yourself alive) enough to make life hell for the one you're fighting.
*EDIT* Had a bit about /shock in there, but have since seen info on it not affecting dots/debuffs, but rather stun/dizzy/etc. Sounds like that may be right, but going to research further before giving advice on something I'm not sure about*

Shouldn't assume so much. Anyone who's read the sticky's here knows otherwise.
