To increase your DPS yes wait for each proc and start casting after
Otherwise on basic pve spam dire and use to bonus cast when available

What? That is a DPS decrease.

Don't do this ^^

Think of it this way, the chances of you proccing firestarter twice in a row is quite unlikely, so it's more beneficial to your DPS to cast a fire 1 and then use your proc than it is to fish for procs or worry about procs that in all likelihood would not have occurred. Follow your ABCs (Always Be Casting)

Clipping Firestarters is less of a DPS loss than stopping for a proc.

Rule 1 of BLM is to never stop casting.

If you must try to predict firestarters, you can use cooldowns like surecast or a thundercloud proc as a buffer while your fire attack hits the target. Once you hit 60 you'll have bigger things to worry about than firestarters.
