(Fire1s till 270+ mp, swiftcast flare, convert, fire 1, blizzard 3 and continue from there). This will seriously give your single target dps a good boost and might even push past monk's and summoner's dps in burst phases.
This!!! +1000!!! People whine to me about doing this on a single target, but they don't know what they are talking about. If you have convert cooled down, and no AoE is needed, blast a Flare on a single target and Convert>Fire I>Blizzard III>back to your rotation. It will keep you competitive in the DPS race against the Monks and Dragoons doing sustained damage. Not enough BLMs do this...
