summoner AOE is a little more complicated than that, first off, you wont use fester because you will need your aetherflow stacks for bane, maybe if all the mobs are about to die then sure, but most of the time you'll want to keep them.
Also, blizz II spam is only good against 4 or less enemies, any more and you'll need to be applying dots to a new group to continue to bane.
also, your priority after bane should be to shadowflare, not miasma II
