Where does Fire blast fall into a DPS chain?

I wouldn't think Fire Blast would be a good fit for DB because of the redraw it will have. BF>attack vitals combo will be a better DPS attack chain then BF>attack Vitals combo>Fire Blast because of the redraw.

Agreed. Now, if you had an opener chain of epic attacks you fired before using your blades, that would be fine. But to have to redraw constantly just to add one power to a chain that can run seamless on its own would drive me nuts. (Just had a flashback of my widow juggling gloom and mental blast... *screams*)

Would you take Melt Armor instead of Fire Blast for AV soloing then?

Lessee... Assuming ~200% +rech, 1.716 sec animation to get 40 seconds of 9.75% -res every 68.5 seconds. That's roughly 58.5% uptime for 5.7% -res on average. Of course, that's also gonna put some hurting on your blue bar because it costs 22.75 end to activate.|

Honestly, I wouldn't even bother. You would probably generate decent enough damage numbers (4.3% of your animation time for a ~5.7% increase to DPS isn't all that bad of an exchange), but it wouldn't be that much better than just using an attack because APP Melt Armor is just bad.
I'm just going to use fireblast as my set mule for the purple set to get the +HP and Regen.
Where would Fire Blast fit into a DPS attack Chain for DB? I have BF>attack Vitals combo>Fire Blast. Is this optimal?
If you care to list other attack chains for other AT powers, that you have experimented with feel free to do so here.
