Why else would you see blue numbers when you ID/FD it? That's most likely the glitch they were talking about. They probably programmed it to heal with % based attacks (like ID and FD), but it didn't work and still allowed ID/FD/Poison to kill it.

Apparently poison damage isn't read in the same way as other skills. It's probably stored as a 16 bit integer and rolls over whatever the cap for the damage is several times.
16-bit would mean damage/tick can be anywhere between -32768 and +32767, and the displayed amount wraps around if it goes beyond that range. Hence why 3x Venom sometimes gives blue healing numbers; it does more than 32767 damage, so it wraps around to negative.
Same applies to abnormally high percentage mist damage.
