Spells which combine direct damage and a DoT component (immolate, flame shock, moonfire, etc) have their coefficient split between the direct damage and damage over time portions of the spell, proportionate to the base damage of each component. For example, Immolate (which has a 2.0 cast time, some amount of direct damage and a 15 second DoT time) has an average base direct damage component is x, and the dot portion's base damage is y, then the coefficient on the direct damage component is \frac {2}{3.5}*\frac{x}{x+y}, and the coefficient on the DoT component is \frac{15}{15}*\frac{y}{x+y}.

I don't quite understand this part. What are x and y? Isn't x=2/3.5, and y=15/15 for this particular example?
Also, the grammar is making it a bit confusing ("has an average base direct damage component is x").
