If you do 10k DPS from your direct damage then Ignite will (with base mastery) top out at 4k DPS. At that point you're pooling Ignite damage at the same rate it's trickling out. For simplicity, we'll assume you can do 10k just by spamming Fireball. Cast speed of 2.5 seconds, so each Fireball hits for an average of 25k, and then generates 25*0.4= 10k of Ignite, split into two 5k hits.

It takes a bit over ten seconds of spamming this 25k Fireball before you're spending Ignite as fast as you're generating it; more mastery doesn't change this figure, since the expenditure scales with generation.
