So obviously lb glyph and flam shock glyph. Then what? what really is better lava or tow? I think lava wound be better dmg, but not really sure. Also just post minor glyphs just to see whats out there pls Thanks

This is covered in the FAQ, but Totem of Wrath is better. Lava burst is only ~15% of your total dps and the SP bonus from ToW glyph affects 100% of your dps.

IF you have T9 4 piece bonus, Glyph of Lava is better.

Otherwise glyph of Totem of Wrath (+84 spellpower) is better than Lava in most conditions.

Theorycrafting will have to be redone with ICC level gear because the 84 spellpower is static whereas the Lava glyph scale with gear.

Theorycrafting done by Binkenstein on the Elitist Jerks forum seemed to show that glyph of lava would be better than glyph of ToW for a spellpower level of around ~4000 spellpower. (Forum link broken atm will try to find a new source)
I can see that perfectly reachable raid-buffed with a Demonic Pact warlock and ICC-Gear.

Theorycrafting about it is quite complex however, and we will probably need to experiment a bit to be sure.
