Primal Farming - Most Effective Spell Sequences?Follow

Hi there people! I am now thinking of doing some primal farming, and will head to Kirin'Var Village in Netherstorm, as I have had some nice sessions there (namely 9 mana primals in 1h = 105g, 50g trash, 50g greens, 205g=1h). I have mostly farmed being frost before, but currently, I am specced 40/21. It is a great spec for mana, especially (which I noticed yesterday in Karazhan) when you mostly scorch the trash.

Now, I am wondering, what would be the most mana efficient way of farming? Mostly Scorch until they get close, FN, Icelances? Otherwise, Pyroblast, Fireball and something else if needed? What's best? Here's my armory. Click!

Edit: Oh, might just add, if you have any other suggestions on where I should farm primals for good gold/hour, shout :)

pryo + fireball + scorch spam

if mob does high melee damage, interrupts, or if my health is just low, i'll FN + lance instead of scorch

usually if pryo or fireball crit, mob is almost dead so i can just wand a few times to kill it. i'm at 30% crit w/ molten armor and i'm specced for combustion

scorch is more mana efficient while fireball is higher dps.
getting hit will reduce efficiency due to spell pushback. so open with fireball or pyro, scorch until he's close, fn -> lance, scorch or wand until dead.

this will get you fast kills combined with mana efficiency from scorch and fn/lance.

fireblast will get them down faster but reduce mana efficiency.

True enough, though the mobs down in Kirin Var that drop primals also have a mob type that does a mana burn, so sometimes it's the lesser of two evils.

If you want a good gold/hr ratio I would just go do dailies, say you get about 2 primals an hour, that is what? 30g (my server primal manas go for 10-12g a piece). So by doing 2 or 3 dailies in o'grila/netherwing/skettis can make up for that and more.
