Uhh... You really should fact-check your complaints.
It's 80% WIL scaling, not 20%? If it were 20%, you'd be doing so little damage that it would almost always be cancelled out by a monster's RES.
Secondly, Poison Damage does 10% of your Max HP. (Which would be 20% of your Max HP with Menovs' Fang.) So unless you're trying to include Death Knighting's Fallcall into this, I don't know where you're pulling '40-60%' from.
Anyway, overall, I think nerfing Wretched Oil is unnecessary. While it has no damage drop-off, it's damage is easy enough to curb, there's alot of monsters that are either resistant to Dark or resistant to Earth and against high RES, it'll be doing next to nothing due to the way those dual-element spells work, leaving you with only that initially minuscule Poison Damage per Round.
Not to mention, it's the second most expensive non-Invocation AoE in the game and you can't cut it's price down with Arcane Tattoo like Magaisendo.
