Also, if you're going to use Profundity or Blood Rite, make sure you use them in the last 10 seconds or so of the buff, and not when casting the initial spell to get the damage boost.
Hey Grog ol'chap... I have seem to come to somewhat the same conclusion. But I find it's not the amount of time you cast the "fire/fireII/burn/fir..." but the amount of fire dmg deal during the buff.. I havent quite work'd down what % of dmg dealt = AM burst yet.. But I am positive about the way AM is used.. More NM's so I can study it a bit..
