Blizzard worth using as fire?

When in long AOE situations in herorics I tend to have nothing to do once I use blast wave and apply three living bombs, I also fire blast cleave if I can.
Assuming the targets will be alive for a good 6-10 seconds, If blast wave is on CD, I have 3 LB rolling and I have no impact proc, Should I just spam flame strike or should I use blizzard or should I just use single target spells to gain more impacts to cleave with?

Instant cast Flamestrikes are great. If you can get into melee range without dying you can use Dragon's Breath. No real point to use Blizzard as fire since you have those other AoE spells.

Flamestrike also benefits from Fire Specialization, and does 25% more damage.
Look, if you can manage Blizzard as Fire, go for it. Just know that you get no benefit from using Blizzard as Fire, as opposed to Flamestrike.

It's kind of a waste. You get no benefit from talents, it's a mana hog, and it's channeled.

so after I cleave living bomb and use blast wave, you are suggesting I use flame strike every GCD untill I need to re-cleave LB or use Blastwave, correct?
This sort of seems like strain on my mana, I may just need to improve my gear.
I suppose I could weave in some singl target spells in instead of using flame strike on multiple consecutive GCD while waiting on Blastwave and the LBs, atleast untill I get better gear to spam a good 5-7 flame strikes in a row as filler AOE.

You could switch to Mage Armor on heavy AOE phases, and back to Molten Armor when it's not. It's what I do, since the Armors are free.

this probably goes without saying, but I should also completely ignore ice lance and arcane explosion as well right?

If playing as fire, yes.
