immo before chaos bolt, and always follow an immo up with conflag straight away. Even post nerf, conflag is your highest dpct spell, you want it (and backdraft) up as soon as possible, and you want it up as soon as you can each CD (as soon as you can without stopcasting that is). Are you using dots as well? you do want to be keeping CoDoom up. Corruption is better left out, but Doom you do want to throw in there. Its also a great opener on boss fights - It's damage "banked" that you can throw up before aggro may otherwise let you.
Otherwise, desto is only a little behind at the moment, and post patch it will be vastly improved.

i don't think it's a bug so much as it's just server lag. the message that your target has the immolate debuff and that conflag's flag should be turned on for your character has to be sent back from the server to your machine before you can hit conflag.
if you think about addons like quartz that show a red section on your cast bar to show lag, you're able to cast your next spell at any point in that red section because lag is such that it will actually get sent at the right time. well, far from being able to precast a little bit, you have to wait double the time of that red section for the immo you cast to be sent and for the flag to pop up back on your machine.
as for the solution to the problem, you'll only be casting CoD on bosses and on those bosses you'll only encounter this issue at the beginning of each fight so use CoD. on trash it's less of an isue but you could use CoA if they're likely to live 24 seconds or incinerate otherwise.

you know the conflag glyph will work exactly the same as on live right?

indeed. there was a mini uproar on the official forum after the first set of changes went in. i think blizz probably knew that if they wanted to stop the conflag glyph working the way it does they'd have to make it's replacement REALLY good. the proposed glyph was actually really nice but, clearly, nothing like as useful as the current version.
personally, i really didn't like the destro rotation before we got the GoConflag so i'm very happy that the change didn't go through. it actually means the difference between a spec that i will enjoy and one that i won't touch.

CoA, Corr, Immo, LT, Chaos Bolt, Conflag, Incin spam till cooldowns are up and dots need refreshing.
Use CoD over CoA unless the boss will die within the next minutes
Corr is lower DPCT than Incin, don't cast it
Also, only put one spell between immo and your first conflag - you should always life tap after you conflag and backdraft is up, so your cooldowns are ticking
so it would be something more like this for the first few seconds of the fight:
Life Tap (before combat)
Immolate, Curse, Conflag, Chaos Bolt, Incin spam
Once you're past that point, your priorities should be:
Conflag
Keep up Glyph of Life Tap
Curse of Doom
Chaos Bolt
