So I usually start a boss pull with
pre casting stormkeeper
fire elemental
pre pot
lava burst
flame shock
buffed lightning bolt
Lava burst
Second buffed lightning bolt
Lava burst
Earth shock
Then I go into the normal rotation.
However, I try to keep 1 lava burst charge in my pocket so I can use it to get master of elements buff before each earth shock/quake.
Should I be doing this? Or should I be using them whenever available?
It’s an old habit from playing a destro lock. You always want one charge of conflag in your pocket, so I just have a tendency to hold a lava burst charge
Never over cap or sit on a proc so long you overwrite it and your fine to use charges to weave however you can.

What your doing sounds pretty right make sure to use your instant cast lava burst as they happen if you have no proc it’s fine to sit on 1 charge of lava burst to build maelstrom just remember your master of the elements priority list, as another tip lava burst > regular lightning bolt is the same damage as lava burst > lava burst so don’t worry about using unbuffed lightning if you get a proc just double up lava burst to make sure your not wasting your instant cast
Imo you should be using both, when you have one charge and the other is recharging, say half way and you proc, you’ve wasted half a proc, which can add up over a fight.
