As far as the RNG complaints, I am in agreement that it can be pretty harsh, but that it shouldn't be removed out right. Instead I'm hoping that they change around some of the talents so that it becomes possible to "force" the RNG in our favor, kind of like Frost.

For those who are unfamiliar, remember that Frost dps depends heavily on FoF procs. However, FoF doesn't suffer nearly as much from RNG droughts like Hot Streak because frost mages can spec so that their pet's frost nova will trigger 2 stacks of FoF and can continue to have good dmg even if lady luck is hatin' like a beast.

Point is, if Fire were given the ability to, occasionally, force a Hot Streak proc then Fire's love hate with RNG would be calmed down a bit and Fire players would feel a lot more control over their dmg. I personally prefer the idea to give fire a FoF-esque ability to make scorch instant cast and be a guaranteed crit. So your blasting away, holding on to a "Fingers of FAYA" (NNF) proc, when you see your last fireball nail the, oh, lets say warlock, for a big fat crit. You then smack em with an instant-crit Scrotch, BOOM, Hot Streak proc pyroblast to the face/Combustion/roflmao and scene.

Course, easier said than implemented, and a new balancing around the mechanic would be needed, but ain't that always the way?
