It's for kiting. If you can stand still, your rotation at your level should be Thunder to lay down the DoT, spamming Fire (where the Astral Fire buff will increase your damage) until you run out of MP, and then Transpose and spam Blizzard (so that the Umbral Ice buff will replenish your MPs) until your MPs are full again, and then Transpose again and start back into Fire (Transpose can be skipped if it's not back up yet--later on you'll get better tools that will allow you to dispense with Transpose in the rotation). Reapply Thunder when the DoT debuff wears. Scathe is not part of your standard rotation; it's inferior to the Fire/Ice cycle but since it's instant, you can cast it on the move.
