But if I hit with a 10dps dot that will be on them for 10sec, and after 3 seconds I gain a "+60% to all damage done" buff, will the enemy I dotted earlier be taking 16dps for the next 7 seconds, or 10?

If you're putting an individual debuff on something, like Ignite, the values of that debuff are inherently set at the time it's created and do not change after that point.

Something like Righteous Fire ort Death's Oath, where your skill is constantly maintaining an aura debuff will be updating it's value on you, which in turn changes the effect on enemies in the area of effect.

What about something like Vortex? I imagine it operates like RF?

No - there's no ongoing component to your skill, it created a vortex with set values, then finished casting. You created a thing which is separate to you, and your skill doesn't continue happening to be able to maintain it.
