Both your uses are damage losses compared to stuff you can do without Lunar Shower.
Beth'tilac HM: Just solo the spiderlings using mushrooms -> typhoon -> mushrooms with dots on the ones not hit by one explosion
Lord Rhyolith: Mushrooms + Hurricane does more damage and allows you to camp in Eclipse more easily
Ragnaros:
Sons: Mushrooms on any clumped ones with Sunfire (+IS if you want to kill them fast) allows you to solo 3-5 sons on 10m
Molten Elementals:
AoE: Starfall + Mushrooms + Typhoon into Hurricane
Non-AoE: Starfall and just DoT everything up with Sunfire
That's all 10m HM but should also fit to 25m and even moreso to 10m nonHM.
Your second use is quite a big DPS loss since not only you spam a spell that's lower DPS than your non-eclipsed main nukes but you also forcefully refresh non-eclipsed DoTs.
In general I find Lunar Shower to be a fairly mediocre talent currently because - if you plan your fights correctly - using it hinders you more than it helps you.
