Edit: corrected the cooldown part of Lava Burst
Rotation 1: FS/CL/LiB/LiB/LiB/LaB
[adjusted crit] = [(Crit + 4*(Crit + 10%) + 100%)/6]
I.e. 30% regular crit chance gives an adjusted crit value of 48.33%
Rotation 2: FS/CL/LiB/LiB/LiB/CL/LaB/LiB/LiB
[adjusted crit] = [(Crit + 7 * (Crit + 10%) + 100%)/9]
I.e. 30% regular crit chance gives an adjusted crit value of 45.56%

Lava Burst's effect on Clearcasting doesn't operate in this way, because you can't have two back-to-back Lava Burst crits. For rotation 1, your clearcasting uptime is 100% for Flameshock and Clain Lightning, and then for lightning bolt and lava burst your uptime is that of a normal 30% crit rate. Note also that the benefit of controlled Clearcasting can be moved around to benefit more expensive spells.
