Maybe a little, although 40 slots aren't going to last long even with only 25 raiders. From the sounds of many of the new spells/abilities, a few seem to leave some manner after-effect on the target.

Cost wise, that combo I listed is roughly close to three shadowbolts. Assuming you have dest cast reduction talent, 3 sb is 7.5 seconds not counting the global. The fire combo would be 4 seconds (maybe less if that 2.5s casttime on incin gains the -.5 seconds from talent) + the instant, not counting globals.

The fire damage will generally be alot less then the average damage from those 3 SB on a resist-neutral target, but you're total cast time is about 3-4 seconds less on average. Useful for PVP or targets that need to be taken down extremely fast, but it won't be sustainable for any manner of extended fight.
