Fire will get much better with 4pc t11 (hell it's even better with 2pc, my pyroblast! crit chance is like 50% raid buffed) with 10% fireball cast increase, and the new patch coming out pretty much allowing us to spam FB for an entire fight, our DPS will jump up 5%-8% depending on fight.
For now though fire is extremely reliant on HS, it can really make or break a fight dps wise. I think my least favorite part about it is on aoe fights it can COMPLETELY up your dps by a ton, Maloriak for example, if you fish for a HS proc right before he goes green phase, save it until he pounces on the OT , pop combustion and can get it spread to adds, OOOOOO IT'S PRETTY. But if you have to settle for LB/Ignite Combustion it's still decent, but that Pyro DOT can make a huge difference.

There are two talents working in together, not exactly in synergy.
Hot streak and improved hot streak.
Hot streak has small chance on any spell crit to proc pyro - the chance drops the more crit you get.
Improved hot streak has 100% chance to proc pyro on 2 crits in a row from certain abilities (scorch, fb/ffb or fireblast). Pyroblast! (instant) cant proc Imp hot streak.
Now, more crit you get the more go into rng as Hot streak chance decreases and imp hot streak is double dipped in rng. This means there is no magic number of crit you need to get to get those Pyro!'s going reliably (unless you can get 100%).
Even with that its still fun spec and i doubt ill ever spec anything else.
PS: Good way of increasing your HS chance is weave more scorches into your rotation. Sure they got smaller crit chance, but you cast them more frequent.

You sure Pyroblast! can't proc HS?
When doing dailies in fire I sometimes get a Pyroblast! right after casting my Pyroblast! on the next mob in line before casting anything else.
You get Hot streak (any spell - 1 crit) not Improved Hot streak (main nuke with cast time or fireblast - 2 crits in a row).
