Looks like someone needs a refresher course. Alot of the details in the Spell Dmg section changed in 2.0 or later.

http://www.wowwiki.com/Formulas:Plus_damage_and_Plus_healing

Channeled Spells
Cast Time of Channeled Spell / 3.5 = Total Benefit

Meaning Drain Life gets 5 / 3.5 = 1.42 / 2 (due to healing component as you already stated) = 71.4%

DoTs
Duration of DoT Spell / 15 = Total Benefit

Except in lots of fun cases like Corruption (100%), Curse of Agony (120%)

Combination Spells (damage + dot component) get even more complex. AoE Spells are different again.

Hell if anyone knows the way to apply +dmg gear to Seed of Corruption / Unstable Affliction I'd love to hear it. I haven't figured those two out yet
