I'd assume too allow the last tick of Cauterize to damage before refreshing it.

That is exactly right.

 

If you refresh the effect of it you will have spent 2 focus to add base dmg from cauterize + only what was gone from the dot. So if the dot for exapmle had 2 secs left, you'll only add 4 seconds of dmg instead of the 6 it usually does.

 

Also instead of spending 2 focus on cauterize you could have used it to (always situational) to gain some more focus or do a different dmg attack.
