Does Chain of Torment stack with other Damage Tolerance cuts?

Not with one other skill. That skill also lowers the target's Damage Tolerance. While Chain of Torment is on the same target, that skill's cut does not apply. Chain of Torment's own cut still works.
Does Chain of Torment stack with Debilitating Mark?

Yes. Both can be on one target at the same time, and both keep working. They lower different stats. Chain of Torment makes the target take more damage. Debilitating Mark makes the target deal less damage.
Does Chain of Torment work on bosses?

Yes. Bosses can carry Chain of Torment. It lowers the boss's PvE Damage Tolerance. That helps the hits of every party member on the boss, not only the caster's.
Can Chain of Torment be removed?

Yes. Cleansing skills can remove it. Once it is gone, skills that need it on the target can no longer pick that target. Defiance does not remove it.
Can Chain of Torment be evaded or blocked?

Yes. The target's Evasion and Block work against the hit that places it. A specialization of the skill that applies it makes that hit ignore both.
