The Procs are instant, deal spike damage, and deal the strongest dot among all of my arsenal of spells - and, with good gear, I may get lucky and get to fire off about 7 or 8 of them in a long, hilarious combo of explosions and fun. If I am unlucky with RNG, I revert to refreshing my other dots and falling back into my rotation until more procs are available, while dodging the aforementioned fire and interrupting boss abilities.
Its fun as hell. I'm laughing like a maniacal idiot when I hit my 6th proc that crits. I'm yelling into vent "are you seeing this?" as the numbers fly. I'm having fun. When I'm targeted with an ability, I can move out of the way while still casting if I'm skillful enough to use my abilities. Its enjoyable and it rewards me, the player, for my efforts. I don't feel frustration every time the ground turns orange under my feet in a fight because I know I have to fucking start from scratch.
