Sooo, I'm FG/ember specced (with master conjurer). Since hellfire is affected by haste, which AoE spell would be best?
1. Rain of Fire
- obvious choice if mobs do whirlwinds, etc
- can crit
2. Hellfire
- longer channel spell
- ticks are affected by haste

all channelled spell are effected by haste so RoF scales with haste also.
RoF is your spell of choice.

RoF does WORLDS more than Seed as FG/Ember. Seed can't even compete, its a no brainer.
As for hellfire, it makes a good way to suicide during progression nights (so you don't lose durability) but other than that... Useless spell. In CoS, I use Shadowflame to kill the zombies.

RoF lasts 8 seconds, can crit and does damage to all targets in it's range.
the important thing about SoC is that it doesn't hit your primary target. with enough targets that doesn't matter so much but it's a factor.
basially they're close enough for certain talents to be the deciding factor. emberstorm edges RoF ahead for those builds that take it. various aff talents do the same for SoC. builds with neither (deep demo) benefit most from SoC.
the other thing that doesn't get brought up much but favours SoC is the fact that SoC moves around with your target where RoF needs to be recast if the pack moves.

You definitely want RoF since you have so much increase to fire damage. If you are Affliction, you want SoC due to the increase crit chance you have with SoC.
Generally I throw CoA on one or two mobs to proc Molten Core, life tap, and then begin RoF. 95% of the time I am top damage for all trash. I know most will suggest a spellstone, however I personally like seeing bigger numbers jump on the screen so I use a firestone.
To each their own.
Hellfire is great for PvP to find cloaked Rogues! Just don't do it too often. It works best if you are guarding a certain area with a healer, you can run around sweeping for Rogues and the healer can get you back up.

you can also throw a quick CoA on one mob to get the MC proc.
