So I've been doing the following aoe rotation:
Quelling strikes -> fire 3 -> raging strikes -> fire 2 x3 (IIRC) -> flare -> swiftcast -> convert -> flare -> mega ether -> flare -> transpose -> blizzard 2, repeat.

However I've seen a blm do a flare only rotation (I watched and noticed they were not ice flares, he did fire 3 before his flares). And I was wondering which is better? I usually use my main for speed runs (scholar) but I've had fun with blm for the past few days. I'm not really experience with blm and that's why I am seeking advice.
