They auto update each tick, no need to reapply.
Dot's no longer clip. casting a new dot adds the addition duration plus the amount of time left from the old dot
till the next tick
. It is mana efficient and a good idea to reapply within the last 3 seconds of the current DoT, allowing continual ticks.

They don't clip, to a point. You're not going to cast Vampiric Touch twice in a row and have it's duration lengthened to 30 seconds. I think I read somewhere that the last 2 ticks don't clip? (need confirmation on that)
Just tested it, and VT and DP will
not
automatically gain the benefits of Empowered Shadows on their own, you will have to reapply them. SW:P auto-updates whenever you Mind Flay, though.

Cataclysm changed the way DoT refreshing works--when you refresh a currently ticking DoT, you no longer waste a partial tick. Significantly, if you refresh a DoT when it has only one tick remaining, there is no loss at all. This means the optimal time to refresh a DoT is during its last tick, thereby maintaining true 100% uptime. Failing that, refresh at the same time you do now, as soon at it falls off.
DoT ticks use your spellpower, haste, and +% damage (e.g. Eclipse) values from the moment the DoT was cast--they do not update in real time until the next time you cast the DoT. Crit chance of the ticks, on the other hand, does change dynamically if you gain or lose crit buffs while the DoT is ticking.
This is from the TTT Moonkin article on EJ but it should hold true. Refreshes refresh values.
