Ah, yes, that's true, it's so stupid of me to think it, I realised it just a couple of minutes ago myself. What you say is absolutely true. But for some weird reason my DPS is always lower when I do that! I'll try it over a longer time span! I used to do it for like 10 minutes. I must say though, I really don't think I lose time when pressing Fire III during my last fire III. My reaction is really fast, but I guess it does accumulate and your theory is correct. I don't wait for the proc icon to appear though, so I don't think I lose time when there is a proc. Basically it will be like a naturally casted fire III proc. Cheers for clarifying, I was silly on my reasoning! I'll test it out tomorrow.

I use Blizzard I when I know my mana will not have fully returned when I'm about to use Fire III (Blizzard III - Thunder II - Blizzard I (in case of not enough mana regen) - Fire III

Something to remember is the Firestarter'd Fire III can't be cast until the proc registers, which is when the icon gains the dotted outline. That's why we "risk" losing out on occasional Firestarter procs by goign straight into another Fire I and then casting the Firestarter'd Fire III if it happened to proc off the Fire I before that.
