Frostfire Mechanic with Firefall Talent

I am looking at some of the synergy with Fire Mage and Meteor and the Isothermic Core hero talent between Fire/Frost spec. The Isothermic talent states: Comet Storm now also calls down a Meteor at 100% effectiveness onto your target’s location. Meteor now also calls down a Comet Storm at 150% effectiveness onto your target location.

This is something I really want to utilize.

Firefall is a talent that states: Passive: Damaging an enemy with 15 Fireballs or Pyroblasts causes your next Fireball or Pyroblast to call a Meteor down on your target.

Now onto the dilemma with Firefall: Frostfire bolt casts don’t apply any stacks with Pyroblasts being the only way to stack to 15 to get the free meteor.

This definitely sucks if Frostfire Bolt really isn’t providing stacks— but I will say, you are casting so many Pyroblasts you will hardly notice a difference. You actually will rarely be casting/hardcasting Fireball or Frostfire Bolt at all to be honest in most of your rotation, I have found. The instant cast proc chance Frostfire Bolt talent is really nice though to weave in for a little extra damage.

But yes, you will be practically spamming Pyroblasts if you are correctly using Fire Blast with Phoenix Flames (Heat Shimmer talent helps too) because of how many Hot Steaks you will farm. The amount of cool down reduction Fire Blast gets is incredible and the Phoenix Reborn talent makes Phoenix Flames casts refresh often.
