Are you shocking enemies? OT only pros when you kill shocked enemies.

Elemental Status Ailment Rebalance
To provide incentive for players to invest in a particular type of elemental damage or specific status ailment, we have modified the durations for freeze, shock and chill.

Freeze, Shock and Chill now last for 60ms for every 1% of life dealt by the appropriate element, up to a maximum of 50%.
When frozen, you are also chilled for the freeze duration + 300ms. Previously this value was 30% of the freeze duration, but that was sometimes too short or too long.

I think you are remembering something wrong. Heralds haven't changed since they came out. HOT adds lighting damage to hits, but the lighting storm only procs when you kill a shocked enemy. If you are not shocking it won't cause the storm. Also if the duration of the shock is short, then you have less chance to kill while they are shocked.

The only relationship to a curse might be if you used Conductivity or something else that caused more lighting damage or duration. However the HOT itself did not change.

The status ailments changed with 2.0, so maybe that's what you are noticing. From the patch notes:
