Which will never happen, due to the difference in cast times.
LB has a 86% coefficient compared to 71% on the first hit of CL. Dividing by the relative cast times, LB DPS increases by 43% of spell damage compared to 47% for Chain Lightning.
If you take lag into account CL gets hit harder than LB, but you need to be talking about .87 seconds of additional lag on top of casting before LB has a better DPS scaling coefficient than LB, and I dearly hope you are not trying to raid productively with that kind of latency.
