    There are 0 situations where canceling cast to use FS is better unless you would have cancelled that cast anyways to dodge or you know you will need that FS for something (burning an add, whatever) within 1 GCD. Canceling for procs during Raging Strikes is even worse.

    If you are that concerned about "wasting" a proc, look into fireweaving.

    Not to start the whole fireweaving debate from scratch, but wouldn't that just increase your time spent effectively not casting, similar to interrupting the next Fire I to use FS? The reasons given for not interrupting casts seem to support not attempting to fireweave since using an OGCD consumes a fraction of a second each time, or am I missing something here as well?

    You're right that the two aren't really related. But "never interrupt for Firestarter procs" is a golden rule regardless. If one is legitimately concerned about consecutive procs, they can fireweave to assuage their conscience. If their reflex is good enough to do so.
