There have been a few threads on this and I would refer you both to those. But as a note which neither of you mentioned, glyphed CoC hits really hard now especially with a few grouped targets (Better than Dragons Breath).
Spreading ignite + Pyro Dot is still consistantly one of the best ways to do efficient aoe dps as fire. If you have 4 targets all spread out that can take a full duration NT then by all means you should be keeping that up, especially since they buffed our bomb damage. But with say.... 15 targets that wont live very long, Flame strike, CoC + Arcane explosion will do more than NT dotting everything.
Our aoe is more situational. What if you have a good combust you have you can spread to a bunch of targets, then spread again when IB comes off CD? Thats even better if Combust is glyphed.
TLDR: Dot Everything isn't the cut and dry answer
