it mildly bothers me the occasional fire blast isn't in you roation. that helps with the chance for hot streak to proc.
no no no no no no no.
fire blast should never be in a rotation that doesn't involve a lot of movement.. it's too weak and too many heavy compared to your standard rotation. plus, fireball, LB and scorch have many more crit modifiers than fireblast does. you'll have a higher chance of hot streak proccing with the normal rotation.

Yeah, I actually STOPPED using fireblast when I found this out by doing dummy recounts. IU was like: Holy !@#$, my DPS has gone DOWN with an extra spell?
The global cool down is what causes it. If there was no global cool down, fireblast would DEFINITELY be good for DPS
even if fireblast didn't trigger a global cooldown, it's a pretty weak spell. it doesn't scale very well with spell power overall. it also, as I mentioned, does not have as many damage modifiers from the fire tree that fireball/pyro/living bomb get. World In Flames, Improved Scorch, and Empowered Fire, all influence other spells, but completely ignore fire blast.. that's a significant damage increase that fire blast just does not benefit from.

Your biggest concern should be HIT RATING. You only have 212 hit which is 8.08%. You need to be 13% from gears with a draenei or 14% without a draenei. I'd get hit capped first before doing anything else
This. Hit is the best dps stat, point for point, until you're capped. 14% from gear is your hard-cap as FFb, but if you run with a Shadow Priest or Boomkin, then you can soft-cap at 11%.
Your Meta Gem should be the
Chaotic Skyflare diamond
. +Crit rating and increased crit damage matter a lot more to you than more int and some sp, especially as Frostfire.
