All things being equal, then the Caster may be the difference in keeping or dispelling the Global.

Am I understanding this correctly?
yes; I do want to point out however that the Death globals, Well of Misery, but especially Burden of time are a little special.

The Rod of Dark Regency (or whatever its called) plus the jade mask (or whatever its called). plus wizards robe, plus row plus ros means that theoretically a

D10 wiz + 3 (regency) +2 for mask, +2 for rings + robe = d18caster.
If you want to push the example even further you could use a 4 armed caster to add an additional 2 bonus.

This is the only case that I know where you may be able to make an (almost) non dispellable global.

The point I am making is that death magic can be more difficult to dispell due to the number of path boni from artifacts.

People tend to forget the extrapaths portion. But in the previous example, 11 extra paths for a burden of time(?) can lead to consternation by your opponents.
