Since we've already railed on Corruption, that leaves Curse of Agony. Assuming you already have CoS and CoE up, which is the only situation you should be using anything else...

At 1k spell damage CoA will do approximately 2.5k damage. Incinerate will average approximately 2.75k damage (CoE included this time). CoD will do about 6k damage. CoA is cast 2.5 times a minute. So for two minutes we have:

5 CoAs = 12.5k damage + (1.06 * .19) [damage increase factoring in uptime] * .9-1k DPS [Approximate Estimate of normal DPS]
Total: 12.7k
vs

2 CoDs + 2 Incinerates = 12k + 5.5k
Total: 17.5k

Blizzard will need to up the ante with more than one significant crossover talent if they want Shadow/Fire synergy to work.
