After trawling through the site I've yet to find the answer I seek !, this will likely be either because my problem is unique or I'm being a twat !
The issue I have with Gouge is that approx 85% of time I use it the mob breaks out either immediately or within 2secs, I can only think of the following reasons and am hoping a wiser man can help ?
1. The DOT of Posion is causing the break ?
2. I've got some setting in the interface effect it ?
3. My charactor is flawed !
Strangely when doing a Q killing turtles outside Revantusk Village in the Hinterlands it worked fine, everytime !, but only on those particular mobs ??
If you are able to help me out I can resume the journey to lvl70 with another key tool !

It might be diminishing returns. The more you use gouge (along with most other incapacitation abilities such as stuns and fears) within a fifteen second period the less effective it becomes. It shares this timer with sap, so if you sap a target and then gouge it in the next fifteen seconds, the gouge will not last full duration.
You can use a mod to show you when the diminishing returns timer is up, I suggest
this one.

Ah that'll be it, I'm using deadly posion V, what posion would you recommend as an alternative if I wish to get better use from Gouge ?

It says what breaks the incapacitating effect in the skill description. This includes DOT's on the mob when its gouged.
