That is all. I use the convert cooldown as a timer. Flare does trigger firestarter, and can keep the astral chain going. I usually cast after Fire III because with Astral Fire III up it deals 1k to all enemies. After using this macro I am left with ~1200mp I can use to throw one Fire and then a blizzard III (fast cast since astral fire III is still up), then Fire III, Fire I and continue the chain.
It's strictly fire 1 that triggers firestarter.
After further testing this week, I've concluded that thunder 1 or 2 probably is the best scenario during the regen phase.
Assuming 2 firestarter procs, thunder 2's duration is the perfect ratio between cast speed, DoT damage, and duration. T2 will fall off between the burn phase and regen phase which prevents, as the DOT video says, DOT clipping.
