but if the scorp is repeatedly attacking wont the poison be repeatedly applied?
It is not applied every "autoattack", but is on it's own cooldown. Eight seconds have proven to be too short for a scorpid to consistantly keep up the first stack. Now, after the "normalization" it isn't an issue anymore, but it used to be rather imperative to have Rank 4 Scorpid Poison if you intended to use the... well, I'd almost call it an exploit myself. Trinket, Bestial Wrath and all manner of impressive AP buffs combined would make that first stack so powerful that if you managed to keep it ticking until the end of the bossfight, the DPS would be enormous.
