You should be using Glyph of Living Bomb not Pyroblast.
And what's your weapon? you have kalu'ak fishing pole on. ;P

Everything looks fine to me, including your Glyphs. Pyroblast in in-fact a better glyph then living bomb, except on fights with multiple targets.
Fire is a very RNG spec, and sometimes you just don't get the procs you need, or the proper situation for good combustion. It could also be the encounter your doing, or even your group composition. Sounds like you're doing everything fine though, from rotation to gear.

How does that work? Living Bomb is always up, always ticking, always doing damage.
At this early in the game, I don't see ANY way that that statement could be true. Once people are solidly into raid gear, like just a few months ago when people were getting to 70 or 80% crit rating, and so you'd have enough Hot Streaks to make use of that. By you're own admission, you don't always get the procs, so how does it work out that a little extra crit rate on Pyro is better than a straight boost to Living Bomb?
Unless I am completely crazy and missed that they took away LB's DoT chance to crit.

That just seems wrong to me... If you have the crit to make the Pyro glyph worthwhile you most likely wouldn't need it and would crit on Pyro's anyway.
Or at least that's my thinking. And especially right now, I don't think people crit enough to make good use of it, seems ever other post is becoming "y mah fire deeps so badz? i no procs?" which brings the troll face on memegenerator to mind. XD

In later posts of that thread in Elitist Jerks, some people have raised concerns over glyphing Pyroblast over Living Bomb, since HS wasn't proccing so much.
My suggestion, run recount, then at the end of the fight, see which one has a higher damage percentage, then glyph appropriately.
This is probably one of the times where EJ might not necessarily have all the answers. :)
