-Use Earth Shock to proc Surge of Power, by this time Flame Shock is off cooldown
-Use Flame Shock again, apply 2 Flame Shocks, now 3 enemies have Flame Shock
-Use Primordial Wave on 4th target for apply 4th Flame Shock
-ASSUMING you have the the "Windspeaker's Lava Resurgence" (When you cast Earth Shock, gain Lava Surge and increase the damage of your next Lava Burst by 20%) legendary on, you will have a free Lava Surge proc waiting after casting the aforementioned Earth Shock as well as Primordial Wave making your next Lava Burst hit all targets with Flame Shock
-BOOM 4 Lava Bursts go out
This is just one specific way to do AoE and it does require a bit of setup. Personally I love being able to manage 3-4 Flame Shocks at any time. I end up just using instant-cast-Lava Bursts and Earthquakes for AoE rotations and 90% of the time I'm at the top of damage charts in M+ dungeons for all trash pulls.
I haven't tested out Vesper Totem yet so I could be behind the curve in terms of most optimal abilities.
