Pushing black mage dps to maximum

Personally, I prefer this, though you have to be rather confident in your timing in order not to end up without any MP. Essentially, you wait 2 seconds after your first MP tick to cast Flare.

Transpose > Flare > Fire II > Flare
234n + 180n + 468n = 882n
2.0s + 4.0s + 3.0s + 4.0s = 13.0s, so a 15s rotation
882n/15 = 58.8n PPS

That is very helpful, thanks! I tested your rotation and I think I will use it from now on.

I'll use scathe if I'm waiting for my MP to regenerate and I've already got a lightning on my target. I don't do this often though. Usually I'll just cast another lightning spell as its usually worn off or about to.

Best thing is to just cast bliz 1 if you don't have to move.
