    Got your firestarter proc, but already cast bliz 3? Thunder, transpose--->Fire3 ( proc )

    Can't really think of anything else to say regarding this.....Thundercloud>Firestarter, if both were available.

    Generally yes, although always use a proc AFTER a F1 cast

    Nope, i disagree with Thundercloud > Fs if both are up. If you use FS first, you can use you TC proc to weave the next Fire1.

    Puro Strider (gratz to him for his work) cames up with some interesting numbers about it:
    "Let's look at pros and cons of Weaving with Thundercloud:
    Pros
    *Eliminates 60% fail rate of Firestarter when Fire Weaving, which would result in loss of 538.6 potency (Converted from Current BiS Fail amount of -0.840 DPS per weave)
    *Not losing 1 DOT tick from previous Thunder I/II (35 * 1.3 = 45.5 Potency)
    Cons
    *Miss 5% Chance to add 396.5 potency [(60 + ((35 * 8 ) * 1.3)) - 45.5 (from clipping 1 DOT from previous thunder)] from 1 tick while casting Firestarter first + Fire I.
    So, we would gain 142.1 potency (538.6 - 396.5) by Fire weaving with Thundercloud instead of using it first in a no-man's land with the RNG God bestowing you with 5% proc for that one tick :P
    Converting this to damage and DPS using current BiS; we would gain +392 total Damage or +1.63 DPS"
