But that is not the key to bigger Ignites ofcourse. When your combustions comes available, you want to chain crits. Now, this is all RNG, but there is a way to start of with a bigger ignite. First you want a Pyroblast up, even if that means hardcasting, The idea is to save Inferno Blast for the 4th crit in a row. This means, you want to track your lightweave, trinket/weapon procs and save your synapse springs for this moment. Basicly, you want fireball to crit twice, a pyro crit, inferno blast, hotstreak. This combo should give you a very decent ignite.
The thing is, you can be very lucky with crits, or very unfortunate. Even with all procs up, you can end up with 0 crits. So, more importantly, set your own bar of minimum ignite for a combustion+time given for combustion to be off cd. For example, my bar is at 25k in raids, and in normal circumstances, I give myself 20 seconds to get a bigger ignite the 25k, if I fail critting, I will go for a lower ignite after 20 secs. 25k is the minimum though, and not that hard to reach with a few crits.
There is probably some math behind what is best, but setting my own bars works out fine. Using combustion right of cooldown is only worth it when you have a big ignite rolling. Using combust on low ignites is a huge dps loss.
