We have an affix on item that says "Your X spells deal Y% more damage", with X being the damage type, i.e. Fire, Physical, Poison, etc.
If you look on spell runes, some have a little adnotation that says "Damage of Y Spell changes to X", with X being the very same damage type as above.
We have CoE which cycles through damage types.
^This is exactly what the information about Necro "poison skills" refers to, not a general theme of an ability/rune.
To make things easier to understand, if we had like a simple Fireball spell, it's theme would obviously be Fire, but for gameplay reasons they could set the damage type to whatever they liked, for example Cold. Now, a Fireball that would look like fire, but deal cold damage wouldn't make much sense, but the difference between Poison damage type and Blight/Decay theme is small enough to put them on the same spell. And that's what Blizzard is doing.
This is some blind assumptions. Just watch Bloodshed's interview with Blizzard devs.
You do know this is the dev team from D3 who apparently takes 1 year on average to give what the community wants.
How are you certain the devs wont up and create a new element. Watch Bloodshed's interview. It was pretty much alluding to a new ring dedicated for Necro. Every class has 4 elements but the Necro. So for all we know, the 4th elemental radiation which acts like thorns and poison combined. Blight doesn't equal poison. By your definition alone it mean Rend from barbs should be poison damage. Yet barbs have lightning, fire, physical, and cold damage; No poison. And now lets bring up Firebird ignition. I guess that should also be poison damage by your definition.
Your blind assumptions is as bad as end game META predictions based on the PTR.
You people need to wait for the closed BETA. After that wait for Live purchase.
