Inferno unforunately remains inferior to firewall in terms of dps. Anything you could possibly hit with inferno you could hit just as easily with FW, and then some.
The damage increases at high levels do not allow inferno to catch up with firewall.
Inferno damage per seconds remains static since it is a channeling skill, whilst a FW sorc can have 2.5 firewalls up at any given time.
At level 60 w/ 60 mastery and full synergy, inferno manages to do 13k damage/second, which is pathetic when you consider that meteor does 50+k damage per casting just from the initial impact, and that 2.5 level 20 firewalls w/ mastery and no synergies give give like 8.5k damage/second.
Unless they reintroduce that bug where each frame of inferno would take tackon damage from weapons, the skill will remain a useless novelty that is at best subpar at its least useless levels.
