i think this comes down to luck of the RNG, fireball crits for more and thus gives a higher ignite burn.
Using combustion after that should see you fireball dps much higher than just scorch spamming, hopefully once the majority get access to decent crit rates; hotstreak will really come into play!

I prefer it as it is to be honest. If the kind of thing you were talking about happened then there would have to be two specs balanced out equally and two specs to choose from, I really like the whole Frost until higher gear then Fire is an option. Dunno, just seems better to me at least.

But frost... it blows... I hate the sound of it - Levelled from 1 to 60 and then to 70 back in the day. Must admit I used frost from 70 to 85 and went straight back to fire.
What do you mean by 'back in the day'? It's become a little bit more dynamic now and a hell of a lot more fun.

My rotation pretty goes Frostfire Bolt, Pyroblast, Fireball, Fireball again, Fire Blast, and if that doesn't kill 'em, Dragon's Breath.
I don't even use Scorch unless my finger slips.

On Quest mobs? The mobs should be hitting you by the time youo get off your first Fireball. :)
And you must be drinking a lot, unless you're using Mage Armor.

lol not really, the only reason you had to be frost at 60 (as a raider) was because of MC.

Nope! Molten Armor to keep damaging them when in melee range. I throw the Frostfire Bolt from a distance, which slows their speed long enough to send Pyroblast at their face. And of course, being specced in Fire, I get the off-chance of stunning them briefly via Fire Blast from the Impact proc or a free Pyroblast with Hot Streak.
The key is distance. The further you are, the more spells you can throw at them before they come to bash in your head.
