Burst Damage
You are the kind of person who likes to kill as much as possible as quickly as possibly with as little effort as possible. You like to see big numbers and you wanna see how how big you can get them. You want to be able to press a single button and just watch everything on the screen die instantly.
Damage Over Time
For you its not about pressing a single button and watching everything die. Its about pressing ALL the buttons and watching everything die. You don't care about getting "big" numbers. You only care about how many numbers you can get on the screen at once. You wanna see your enemies melt under the sheer number of effects you have applied to them.

Personally I am more of a DoTs guy myself. Burst damage is amazing in terms of getting stuff out of the way quickly, but can be a bit simple depending on the build. You just press a button or two and everything dies. Which is highly entertaining at first, but can get boring as time goes on. Its just not very engaging in most instances, but that also depends on the game. Damage Over Time however most often involves alot more knowledge and strategy in my experience. You have to combine effects and abilities in order to maximize your effectiveness. Which means you have to pay more attention to what you are fighting and you have to be more involved. And that to me is just a more fun way to play a video game in my opinion. I wanna be able to kill alot of stuff very quickly, but I also like to put in alot of effort in order to do it. Does that make sense? You are the kind of person who likes to kill as much as possible as quickly as possibly with as little effort as possible. You like to see big numbers and you wanna see how how big you can get them. You want to be able to press a single button and just watch everything on the screen die instantly.
