Thanks for all the advice, everyone. I was wondering, though: if I go for Improved Scorch, does that basically mean that Fireball gets "retired" from my arsenal? I admit I like the idea of the increased mobility Bolty would have from using a 1.5-second cast spell as the primary attack over a 3-second cast spell. High mobility is one of the nice perks fire mages get as a balance to frost's crowd control.
Also, patch 2.3 is going to remove the damage coefficient penalty, so that's a factor in it. I was wondering if anyone has crunched numbers, however, on how Scorch vs. Fireball plays out, especially factoring in how Incinerate gives me 4% more crit on Scorches. This is probably common knowledge to all dedicated mage players, but not to a nub like myself. :)
