Destruction DPS rotation; Fel Flame

[Shatrahspala]

Simple question...
Is it worth to include Fel Flame in the Warlock Destruction rotation for refreshing the Immolate dot?

So instead of recasting Immolate, cast 2x Fel Flame instead???

Does anyone have some solid theorycrafting on this issue?

I don't really have time for much theorycrafting right now, but, if you consider that the initial damage from Immolate is higher than the damage of a single Fel Flame while taking about the same time to cast and giving you full immolate duration, I'm sure you'll find doing what you said a rather poor option for your DPS.

I'm not entirely sure if the 4pc bonus would make Fel Flame higher DPET than Incinerate if the Immolate ticks don't go to waste, but that's not a matter of this moment for me.

Ye well, tested it myself. Not that ive been "theory crafting" it... But i can agree, doesnt work :)
