Yes it does, momentarily anyway. The greatest danger in this is when intially walking into a crowd that hasn't been fissure'd yet.
Mud Pots' range isnt anything other than useless, making it, imo, the one definately skippable power in the whole Earth Assault Pool.

Mud Pots is really nice with electric control... confuse the mob, watch them bunch up, sleep patch, fences, wade into the middle of the now-clumped enemies and watch the damage ticks roll by. Throw out fissures for good measure.
It's just a tough call for me 
The main thing in Jolting Chain's favor is it's fast recharge - perfect for enemies surprising you while other powers are down.
As I level my domi I am finding Jolting Chain great for pulling too 
The whole mob falls down allowing you to find a nice corner and drop a Static Field to bunch them all up!

its range is 1ft over the usual melee range of 7 for doms, so it doesnt give alot of wiggle room like tanker of scrapper damage toggles to have them spread out in melee.|

Earth is pretty end heavy too, even slotted sensibly (that is just SOs tho, should get better when I IO up) so I find i've better things to waste my endurance on. Also with APPs theres alot of choice for AoE thats better than mud pots.

I'd agree with the second point though, it's End Expensive and a Domi probably has more useful options to take. Jolting Fences is certainly one of them, amazingly useful and cool looking power (and very interesting PROC options IMO).

id quick glanced at a few other toggles and they all had bigger radius, 12s or 15s, looking at more, I can see alot more hitting that 8 radius, so maybe its not as small area as I thought. Still, I dont see small ticks from this power being very helpful, vs the burst damage available in other AoEs in the set, which will not disrupt your sleep as much.

With Elec/, you should not have endurance problems regardless of whether or not you run Mud Pots. Doubly so if you're a perma-dom. And damage auras are all about "free" damage, not having to give up burst damage for such damage. It should be noted that I'm a very aggressive player and tend to be in melee range regardless.
I'm going to try a respec with both, dropping Power Boost to do so. I've never really felt a real need to use Power Boost on a perma-dom elec/ so far - it's mostly been a novelty power.
Here's my build if anyone is curious:
95% recharge
20% melee/range def

I like it for the endurance drain aspects. With Power Boost on mobs get drained super fast. I fire it off before jumping into every fight. I'd hate to do without.

Fridgerato - Traps/Ice (Frdm)
Gadgetron - Grav/TA (Lbrty)

I'm trying to decide between these two powers and it's not proving easy. A damage aura is great. Activation-free damage is good. Plus the slow stacks nicely with static field. Jolting Fences... well, I respecced out of it, but I've come to miss it in certain situations such as when I want to run up to a boss for a seismic smash hold and I'd rather him be on his back when I get there...
I'd probably slot fences with 5x apocalypse which also leaves a sour taste in my mouth (what a waste!), but it makes best use of slots while still getting a proc into the power.
Basically, it's between these two builds:
