If you play PVE use fireball. And if you play pvp use scorch and the talent that lets you cast scorch on the move.

Well.. use Scorch for the crit debuff on target and when ur on the move.
Fireball is when you're standing still and you have pyro dot on target.
Pyro when you have nice haste effects on you and have no pyro dot on target.

Living bomb is always n.1, refresh after it has exploded.

Combustion, biggest part of your dmg, master of the AOE dmg.
You have to time everything right to make perfect combustion.. but I'm not going to tell all dots / debuffs you need to have in target for perfect combustion, so.. I recommend using CombustionHelp-addon,
it also helps you keep on track of your living bomb. ;)

Pyro when you have nice haste effects on you and have no pyro dot on target.

Unless haste is bringing your Fireball cast below 1 sec, it is never a reason to hardcast Pyroblasts. Pyroblast will always cast at 140% of Fireball's time, and no amount of haste can change that.

You'll only get haste to get <1s Fireball when flying on Alysrazor.

Well yeah.. I think I don't need to fix that cause you already did. ;D

Depending on your crit chance you actually CAN use a hardcasted pyro.

(the less crit you have the more it becomes viable)

Maybe I should add the calculation to my guide...

Taken directly from that link:

1. Combustion When all DoTs are on target.

1. Spec Arcane
2. Use Presence of Mind and then use Scorch
3. Talent into Piercing Chill
4. Spam Scorch for some nice dps.
5. Use glyph of cone of Cold.
6. Remember to keep Slow Fall up on your whole raid.

4.3.4 AoE DPS Rotation

1.Fire Blast (Impact)
2.Blast Wave
3.Dragon's Breath
4.Flamestrike

An effective method on trash is to start with Blast Wave, then Dragon's Breath and then cast Flamestrike. Then apply DoTs and spread using Fire Blast (Impact).



Seriously.... when I read this I get herpes on my eyes!
