Mages can't ignore pdr rate in any way, can they?

DoT ignores MDRate.

F/P Mage: 1, I/L Mage: 0?
I'm aware I/L Mages do have a DoT with Ice Demon (100%) and Blizzard (205%), but is that really enough to compete? There's a lot I'm still unaware of such as if DoTs stack and which do as well as the delays between casts, but I think it's a pretty safe assumption. In terms of training, I think it was found that they were a mere fraction of a difference (around 2-3% more damage), so could end-game bossing go to the F/P Mage?
