If you're just going with DS and LS for kills, then I don't think the extra points in fire blast would be worth it.
My own sin went with DS and WoI as main traps, with LS and fire blast for synergies. The idea was that since DS adds damage to WoI and fire blast helps both WoI (more damage) and DS (more shots), I might as well take two different elements of traps and get good synergies out of both.
Of course, that means having to give up venom though, so to make up for the loss of poison, I used a few poison charms to turn monsters green for some okayish duration to stop their regeneration :).
