This is basically the same thing it's just harder for the player to do.
You are probably unaware what exploit is discussed. Ofc it is not about using convert or pots.
Look closely to rotation (Transpose - Flare - Fire II - Flare - Transpose)
I've highlighted the problem part for you.
After Transpose wait for mana tick, then 2 seconds more and start casting Flare. You will still get a mana tick right after Flare allowing you to cast Fire II and another Flare already being under effect of Fire3.
However this minor bug can't really be used mostly anywhere cause for it mobs should live longer than your full initial AOE rotation and this can only happen in dungeons with undergeared players.
