I just dropped Pyromaniac for Improved Fireblast (since I was really disappointed with Pyromaniac overall, it's a really rare proc and doesn't last long, at least on boss fights) and my main intention was to benefict from the +8% crit to fish for Pyroblast! procs at the start of fights (trying to use combustion with Pyroblast dots on as early as possible on a boss fight) and during "burn it all" phases.
I've noticed a considerable ammount of Pyroblast! procs from this. It's really hard to parse data on that, but with 40%+ fireblast crit rate during a boss fight (my gear level isn't even that great, only 354 or such, but I reforge alot to crit), if you are fast enough to throw a fireblast after a fireball crit or a LB explosion crit, you surely will notice more Pyroblast! procs...
It's also nice to throw fireblasts between scorches during movement, since you can't cast Fireball anyway. As long as you are good on mana, this may be alot of fun since you will be procing more Pyroblasts! on the run.
Well, at least I'm almost sure 2/2 Improved Fireblast is more useful than 2/2 Pyromaniac. Will be even better as gear scale and we have less mana issues and more crit %.
