I think this is an honest effort to try and fix some problematic game mechanics. That being said... prior posters have brought up several excellent points with respect to the magnitude/direction of the changes you are proposing.
PJ timer should be based on some threshold damage-per-second. The actual threshold should probably be a function of both players combat stats.
Reducing the logout/teleport timer will potentially strengthen clans and CERTAINLY make solo PKing on accounts with anything but the best supplies/build MUCH more challenging.
I think you definitely should seek out more player responses to the proposed changes, especially from players who only play DMM, like myself.
Also, I am wondering if there is any plan to make changes to game mechanics in the permanent/W45 DMM? I only play W45 as I have limited time and am not interested in re-grinding stats in seasonals even at 5x XP. In fact, I rarely play OSRS as the 1x experience rate is really not compatible with the amount of time I have available. Anyway, improvements to game mechanics in W45 might lead to a greater playerbase in that mode would certainly improve our ability to obtain supplies etc. without the GE. While the GE is great in OSRS, I hope it does not get added to W45. I've been playing RS since '04, and DMM is the most fun I ever had. It's an awesome extension of OSRS that rewards strategy and intimate knowledge of the game.
Keep up the good work, but listen to the players here and be sure to think through what you are proposing. You would not want to have the exact opposite of your intended effect.
Rash/headstrong decision could be damaging to the mode as a whole and that would make me sad.
