In the recent Q&A a question about stacking dots was adressed
Q. Will poison damage stack? DoTs can stack, and the DoT can be poison based, but poison is not inherently a DoT.
As with most blizzard answers this still leaves me confused, do they mean dots from 2 different people, or can one person use a dot twice on a target and both will tick individually instead of the 2nd overriding the first?
Why have a tool-tip explicitly states 'does not stack' if things don't stack unless they say they stack? Doesn't make any sense to specify in one case but not in another no matter how it 'should' work or how 'things' work. Bola shot stacks by the way, just saying.
Bola Shot isn't a DoT. The only thing that is "stacking" is the 1 second cast time/animation of the bola wrapping around the enemy.
Poison Dart does not, and is currently intended to not, have a stacking debuff. It does not say anywhere in the tooltip that it stacks. Casting a second Poison Dart simply refreshes the spell, and that is intended.
As for your question, that almost certainly means that dots from the same source won't stack.

One is never hurt by being given additional choices, only by taking them away. A QUADRILLION MAGIC FIND is worthless if you can't kill shit!
Yeah I'm pretty sure it'll be based on the effect, so to speak, not the casted spell itself. So if you have the 6sec rune for Grasp, you can't stack the damage of 2 grasps ontop of each other. Or if you spam Acid Rain, the dot it leaves behind can't be stacked twice. Also Blizzard is a dot now basically which is kind of interesting. Dots from different players will stack though.
