Considering your MP let you cast a different amount of those spells on the Single and AoE rotations. You only did half of the calcs.
From full MP the AoE rotation (that has an extra Fire II) is slightly better than Single only if finishing on Flare and having Enochian up. Since the targets will probably not die with just that, over time its better that you just do repetitive Single Target rotations because that one will always start from full MP, thus by the end of the next rotation, your PPS will be higher (considering none of the targets had died). While if you go on AoE, to prepare for the next rotation you'll either cast a filler spell at Ice that will already lower your PPS so you can get full MP on Umbral Ice I or Blizzard III from a Convert.

Lets go into numbers:
Single = 4FIV + F = 841.6
AoE from full MP = 9FII + 3Flare = 855.9
AoE with 2FII = 6FII + 3 Flare = 795.9

So by the numbers provided by this thread: in three targets the best would be AoE rotation with Enochian, Convert and Blizzard III for full mana. So yes, there are ways Fire IV is better in three targets. I never put so much tought on PPS for the AoE rotation, so if something is off please tell me so, I'd love to use something better than I use at the moment. But I think this has been discussed a lot in the past of this thread. I just became a poster but recently.
