This argument makes no sense, because nobody claimed that Blizzard 2 spam did more damage than Fire 2 spam. The claim is that B2-B2-F3-Flare-Transpose did more damage than B3-F3-F2(spam) or B3-F3-F2(spam)-Flare-Transpose, which it did. The last rotation could be stronger if you had enough spell speed to pull it off one tick sooner than I could. I couldn't do it with 471 spell speed.

Actually, I did some math and some testing (pre-patch) and a slightly stronger rotation would have been B2-B2-F3-F2(spam)-Flare-Transpose. However, the timing for this was very tight, so if you missed the mana tick your DPS would drop significantly. The B2-B2-F3-Flare-Transpose rotation had more forgiveness in case you had to dodge.
