Yes that's the area that is just too small to follow. I play a mystic and an inquisitor. Both of then cast wards that, while they have a duration, are usually consumed by the damage stream before that time. As I can't see the ward icons clearly, it often get behind the curve on the tank, and as heals per se just aren't very effective that often ends in disaster. My debuffs are also pretty useful, and again it is tough to see when they end.
As far as I can tell, they appear in the small box below my character name where the maintained spells appear. If it makes a difference, I don't really care about the long duration or permanent spell icons, just the short duration ones that are cast in or immediately before combat.
