If it weren't something to be genuinely burst down, and was an add that would be present for upwards of 10 seconds, you would use immolate on it normally anyway. I suppose if you're concerned about an add with a lifespan of around 8 seconds, and reasonably low health, then... Well you've got me. But those are far and few between.
And at this point, unless Blizz give us buffs to ember generation all over the show, I can't think of any other way to fix AoE (if it really is as broken as Zumzum says), without having some kind of balance implications for single target and/or PvP. Or if they choose to put the damage into ember consumers instead, as you stated they said would be their goal for the RoF nerfs a couple of posts back, then it means our AoE stays sitting in the gutter. I mean there probably IS a way to fix it, but I'm not a Blizz Dev, and don't have time to sit down and work out all of the maths, and adding ember generation to immolate just seems to make the most sense to me, and would be the simplest fix too.
Also just poking fun at you a little here, but I kinda feel like your concerns of encouraging the use of immolate are a weeee bit irrelevant at the moment, considering we've been using an AoE spell in our single target rotation for 1/2 of this entire expansion... And you're worrying because you think it'd cause interesting spell priority decisions in certain situations? :P
