I've seen a few folks on here asking whether there's a list, and apparently there isn't, so here's my efforts which are far from complete. Those playing a while seem to know all of this, but newer players like me might appreciate a reference list.
UPDATE: Luke has commented on several rings, and many players have reported test results. Thankyou. The positive result of our hard work is several updates and upgrades promised to rings.
Work in progress, and clearly I don't own every ring yet, but I'll edit and change if this is helpful to anyone:
Mage Classes
Spoiler
Barrier - Working
Blizzard- Working
Chain Lightning- Working
Dispel- Adds 3 seconds to buff duration- due to be fixed/upgraded (Confirmed by Luke)
Disruption field -Working
Energy barrage- Working
Fire Mine- (duration based) adds 30% to duration of burning effect but isn't hooked up to upgrade- Confirmed by Luke
Fire Storm - NOT WORKING
Flashfire- (duration based) NOT WORKING (?)- doesn't change description.
Ice Mine - (duration based) Adds 30% to Chill duration- 30% will be added to Freeze "soon" Confirmed by Luke
Immolate- NOT WORKING
Lightning Bolt- Working
Static Cage- Working
Walking Bomb - Working
Wall of Fire - Working
Winters Grasp- Working
Rogue Classes
Spoiler
Caltrops- Working
Deathblow -Working
Explosive Shot- Working
Knockout Powder- Working
Leaping Shot -See full discussion below for details,but TLDR version= working, sort of. (Confirmed by Luke)
Long Shot- Working
Poisoned Weapons- Working
Spike Trap- Working but only duration so will be switched to damage "soon". (Confirmed by Luke)
I'm pretty sure the dispel ring is duration based and Dispel is an immediate effect which leads me to believe that the rimg does not work. I have that and the Disruption field ring, will try them out and let you know

No. The "Barrier" in Barrier Ring references Barrier the ability, not the barrier itself. That question is the equivalent of saying "Does my winter's grasp ring buff all my ice damage?" *
Count me in on the testing. For those more knowledgeable, is it safe to rely on the stats in the tooltip to measure if ring is working or am I going to have to do runs with them. Because if it's the latter, I'm gonna be awhile.
Spinning blades, poisoned weapons, and toxic cloud for rogue all work.
Spike trap increases duration which is stupid, so I'll have to test it out.
Counterstrike ring does not work.
Static Cage ring works. I tested recently. Also, long shot ring works.
Long shot ring doesn't work for me. It lowers the damage when I tested. I do have a lot of high end accessories and builds, so it might have been something there, I will investigate. But my long shot crits went from like 4k down to like 3.2k.
No. The "Barrier" in Barrier Ring references Barrier the ability, not the barrier itself. That question is the equivalent of saying "Does my winter's grasp ring buff all my ice damage?" *
I think the explanation was helpful as well so people understand the same idea is in effect for things like barrier that is generated from Dispel, mind blast, or placed on you by someone else.
Has anyone tested ability rings with masterworks? Like Caltrops ring + Bow of helpful hazard.
I've asked that before and never gotten an answer. Considering I have all the weapons and ability rings that could combo like this, I shall investigate tonight.
Someone who tested lots of stuff did tell me he tried and they didn't work though.
On a side note it would be helpful to add ring type: damage or duration. Even if ring is working properly, it's mostly to completely useless if it's a duration ring on instant skills.
But I guess we could have a separate thread for that since I'm sure a ton of arguing about usefulness of duration rings will occur.

Good point, and starting to see some of those issues above with Ice/Fire mine. I'll edit where I can though probably not a wholesale revision.
For ice mine I think the ring probably increases the duration of the mine rather than the freeze effect.I would assume it's for the upgrade.
Someone correct me if i'm wrong here but I was under the impression the rings (like weapons with abilities) only applies to the first level of a power so the firemine ring (duration) doesnt work because you get the dot damage with the evo.
I know that disruption field ring does actually work. It's effect is pretty subtle, but I've timed it before and it does increase duration. I'm pretty sure that lightning bolt ring works, as well. Although tbh I haven't done extensive testing on that.
The ring of firestorm does not work! I didn't see it on your list but I thought that I would mention that anyway. I've tested that ring before by taking sample damage numbers on the same enemies with the same level elementalist on the same difficulty, with and without the ring equipped--and the dmg values never showed a 30% damage increase.
Also, as a side note: I agree that I don't think the ring of Fire Mine works. But why was this ring described to increase duration in the first place? If this ring gets fixed, I hope it increases fire mine damage as that would be infinitely more useful for taking up an accessory slot.
