Hmm, that's odd. I end my rotation with a swiftcast > flare > convert > fire 4 > blizz 3 > T1 > Blizz 4 and never had to wait for a tick. If I have to move more than once during that opener, I can drop the thunder for time if I need. But I have to move at least 3 times for that to happen which is rare. It's the main advantage in the sharp opener, plus if you get firestarter from your fire 1 refresh, it's just as potent as the F4x6 opener. You might be ending your rotation different than me which might be why.
