If you wanted to 'spam' CB, then what would you be doing for the other 10 seconds? Just sitting around?
You can't compare spamming something without a CD to spamming something with a CD. If you want, compare Searing Pain to something like Shadow Bolt, or Drain Life, but all you've proved here is that Chaos Bolt does better damage than Searing Pain, and that you should use it as often as possible.
(code entered: qq6oq - muchly?)

I fail to see how can this be useful for any PvPer since usually the guy you're "testing" your DPS on is not standing still and watching his face getting melted.

i wasnt talking about spaming CB i was talking about the dmg comparison between the 2 ythe amount of dmg u can do in the same time with 2 dif spells
But how is that meaningful? What are you trying to prove?
Theorycrafting requires you to have an idea of why something might be better than something else. For example:
Theory
: Using Chaos Bolt whenever the CD is up is better than spamming Searing Pain the whole time.
Mathematical test
: Demonstrate whether the damage caused by Chaos Bolt is higher than the damage caused by Searing Pain, during the casting time.
Mathematics
: Chaos Bolt = 3400 damage per second. Searing Pain = 1700 damage per second.
Conclusion
: Chaos Bolt does more damage than Searing Pain and should therefore be given casting priority.
Practical Use
: Chaos Bolt should be used whenever it is off cooldown, ahead of Searing Pain.
Try using that process and see whether spamming Searing Pain is better than Shadow Bolt?

i did this to show people what else is good to use after uve casted CB and its on CD
no you didn't...if this were true you would have compared SP's dps to SB's, or chaining DoTs on the person, or whatever

Wouldn't comparing Searing pain with incinerate be much more benefitial because they are both technically used as "filler".
EDIT: oops didn't realise this was necro'd, sorry.
