I did some more testing of Immolate's coefficients for some spreadsheeting, and this is what I found:

At level 70, the coefficients for the Direct Damage and Damage over Time portions of Rank 9 Immolate are 0.2 and 0.65 (0.13 per tick) respectively, with an error of less than 1%.

Some of the discrepancy of the earlier test came from the way in which Emberstorm and Improved Immolate stack - additively. (i.e. - the total multiplier for 5/5 Emberstorm and 5/5 Improved Immolate is 1.35, not 1.375 as would be expected if they stacked multiplicatively.)

The rest of the discrepancy came from realizing that the base value for the Direct Damage portion of Immolate is not 327, as the spell description on WoWHead and other sites will say, but very close to 331.25. (The additional damage comes from the way the spell scales with level.)
