Personally I will do the following:
Prepot/Precast Immo
CoE(If I have to)
Doomguard(If it's best to use it at start)
Conflag
Conflag
DarkSoul/Eng Gloves/Cds
Incin
Incin
RoF (To proc everything)
Incin
Incin
Chaos Bolt
Chaos Bolt (If 1 ember generated by now)
Immolate
and then go on with the normal rotation. Can sometimes get off 3 Chaos Bolts with all the buffs depending on RoF generation and crits. Our groups warrior will usually drop Skull Banner as I'm casting or just before I start casting my first chaos bolt, so I pretty much always get 2 completely buffed Chaos Bolts, as well as a fully crit-buffed Immo. The other advantage is you start off with getting your conflag stacks rolling right off the start of the fight.

ah cool,thx for info
I do exactly as Brusalk except I start the fight with Rain of Fire instead of using it "in the middle", I only use RoF to proc LotC though. If I wouldn't have that trinket I wouldn't use RoF.

why immo so late?
I want to have a child and use it as a pulling tool in dungeons.

You don't have to cast both Conflags at the same time. You should cast at least your 2nd conflag with all buffs and DS. You can get a 3rd chaos bolt in if you'd spend the backdrafts on chaos bolts and use fel flame instead of inci at start. Fel flame is generating embers singificantly faster. And you start with 100% mana, 3 chaos bolts will make you regen some mana too. Plenty of mana for fel flaming.
Oh, and dont precast immo, precast inci, since it is a longer cast and has a travel time. Or, if you're pro enough, u can precast an inci earlier and start precasting an immo as the inci is on the fly.
Don't you enter combat as soon as your first cast ends ?Or, if you're pro enough, u can precast an inci earlier and start precasting an immo as the inci is on the fly.
I have to cast Immo, and I don't have to cast an incinerate to start off the rotation. Spending backdraft on a chaos bolt is a pretty big loss, not only for the reducing in cast time but also mana cost on incinerates that chaos bolt doesn't benefit from.
Precasting an incinerate rather than an immolate because it's a longer cast and has a travel time makes absolutely no sense. You want to pre-cast the most beneficial spell. It's cast time or travel time makes no difference. An incinerate can generate 1-2 embers, while an Immolate can potentially do the exactly the same in the amount of time you delay your immolate to precast an incin.
You do have a point about an pre-pre-casting an Incinerate on bosses with large travel time however.

Yes, it does generate embers, but that's also 2 additional GCDs worth of time that you don't have Dark Soul at the end of the opener. In the event that I do get somewhat lucky with crits/RoF generation, the extra two GCDs worth of time lets me fit in a third chaos bolt, which I wouldn't be able to do otherwise.

Generally yes, but we're talking about the pull here. And if it's a matter of squeezing in a 3rd chaos bolt that benefits from DS, trinkets and pot, then it's totally worth it. It's simple math, you do 1 or 2 chaos bolts with all those procs and incinerates in betwee, I do 2 or 3 chaos bolts with all those procs with fel flames in between. Mana isn't a problem at the pull since u start with 100%, and casting 3 chaos bolts, even if backdrafted, will help with your mana regen. If you don't believe me, try it out.
You can precast both an incinerate and an immolate if you're good at it. And don't overestimate immolate, both its ember generation and its damage are quite shit.
