If it doesn't consume the immolate, that would be somewhat useful for fire locks.

Cast immolate, wait a second to get an extra tic from immo dot...cast incinerate, conflag.

Very high mana cost though...380 for immo, 256 for that, 2something for conflag. Thats like over 900 mana ;/ Over a thousand if you count the CoE cast to increase the damage.

Immolate has been long overdue for a mana reduction in my opinion. Even with a crit, talents, and setbonus, the DD portion of the spell rarely tops 1.1k damage without a mage spamming scorch. The dot portion will rarely burn for full on a raid target anyways...I can't count how many times I've tossed up an immo, waited a couple seconds to let it do some dot damage, then found I can't conflag because it has been pushed off.
