So you have no Astral Fire 3 buff in that second rotation until you've gotten 8(?) seconds in which only covers 1 Fire II and then your 3 flares in which you're telling me you're doing more damage because it takes ~2.4% less time? Sorry but no thanks.

Also if you can't Triple Flare without keeping RS up because of lack of spell speed you consider only using 2 Fire II.
Look at the math for yourself! It is made up for by the fact that you are hitting multiple targets with that first Fire 2. Depending on how many targets that is (well, 4+ to be precise), it's a good damage lead.

My rotation also has RS up for all three Flares.
