Disease

Looking at WD new passive "Bad Medicine".
Is there a separate Disease and Poison, as effects like they claimed in 2010, or disease was reduced to skill/passive addition only like Alabaster for Loctus Swarm could suggest?

There is no indication of any kind of "Disease" damage type that made it into the current game. Given that what was mentioned about disease was only said in passing, and no further information was given on the subject, it's safe to assume whoever mentioned it either misspoke, or was referring to something that no longer made the cut in more recent versions, kinda like elemental crit effects.

For now it seems, any additional Poison effects are purely based upon the mechanics of the skill/rune being used and not upon any kind of inherent debuff tied to its element.

Well it was part of tweet question about damage types (http://www.diablowiki.net/Damage#Spell_Damage).
Too bad that holy has made it and that didn't.
