Starting with chaos bolt is fine I guess. Soul conduit is the way to go.
It is quite funny actually many good players have different openings. Some even use 3x rift before the first conflag, other use the rifts after they ve run out of shards and conflag charges.
I think you should do something like Incinerate -> Immolate -> Infernal -> Grimoire Imp -> Conflag -> CB/INC/CB ->
Edit : You could dump 3x rift before first conflag.
