At lvl 29, the highest arcane explosion does 60 damage. I'm not sure that's worthwhile.
The case for improved flamestrike is that there are very few talents in the game that reduce cooldown, and that the lower you reduce the cooldown, the more each fraction of cooldown reduction counts. In fact, the more points you put into improved fire blast, the greater the % cooldown reduction with each point. It's not quite as dramatic as having NO chance of getting arcane missles interupted, but I was somewhat under the impression that at least 30% of my damage in WSG would be coming from fire blast on the run. 5 points in fireblast reduces the total cooldown by 18.75%, upping the DPS of the spell respectively. That's better than the % improvement 5 points in improved fireball gives (14.29%).
What's the avg HP of an enemy at 29, anyway?
