Brand's DoT never becomes irrelevant. It's designed to never become irrelevant and in fact every single Brand build in existance is designed to support the use of his DoT, from taking Deathfire Touch, to Liandry's to Rylai's... etc.

Heals and shields are not required for a Dot Mage to work, Brand is not like other DoT mages he is a ranged poke mage, Rumble, Swain and such are tanky DoT Mages.

And Twitch's DoT is in fact his defining attribute during laning. Keeping constant DoT damage on the enemy negating regen and causing constant damage even in between trades.
