If there's someone in his trajectory he enrages and the raid won't have the damagedebuff on him. IIRC he hits the person which "stops" his charge; it has nothing to do with the wall.

Are you sure about this? Talented Living Bomb shows 759 on live, 690 untalented (+10% Firepower). I think MMO-Champion just wrote crap in these "Unofficial Patchnotes" recently.

Well, FfB still gets the benefit from the fire talents so it should do more dps than frostbolt on possible fire-immune bosses. Using FfB as your main nuke with this spec would be stupid, that's right.

I've never seen AP or Str gems in the list, or the trinkets on top you mentioned. Just loaded your char into RAWR and it's perfectly fine.

Please keep in mind that

a) this patch (3.0.2) is a actually a beta patch that has been released on live
