In a raid with a lock, you won't need to put up Scorch. The warlock has a spell effect which provides the same effect as Imp.Scorchx5, saving you the trouble.
I always put Living Bomb up first. That's a high priority.
What do you mean, IF improved scorch procs? If you've got 3/3 in it, it should proc 100% . . . and yes, once that's up, use FFB as your main nuke, keeping scorch stacks refreshed (if no lock) and always keeping Living Bomb refreshed. When hot streak procs, use it asap unless refreshing scorch/LB.

small correction: I think by "prot" you mean "proc" which is short for "
Special Procedure
"
So yeah... If you have 3 points into improved scorch it should always stack up to 5 after 5 hits.
Your rotation should be LB Scorchx5 (if no warlock with ISB) FFB until Hot streak, cast your instant pyro, back to FFB refreshing LB and Scorch as necessary.
I usually find that I get a Hot streak proc after casting off my Scorches (when I'm unlucky and not raiding with my kind warlocks). Then I'll use my proc before going to start my FFB spam (which in my case is a Fireball spam).
edit: damn someone beat me to the post

ha! I'm flattered that you think I'm "right". I'm half expecting Mathron or Dant to waltz in here and correct me for something though. ;-)

to clarify this, a warlock that uses
Imp. Shadow Bolt
... A lot of them don't use that, but if you find your imp. scorch debuff isn't going on mobs, your lock probably IS using that, and you don't need to worry about scorching.. However, I would a few times just for good measure to give your tank time to build aggro. FFB spec, being as crit dependant as it is, can be a great way for you to pull aggro if you start nuking too soon.
But yes... living bomb should be the first spell you cast... ALWAYS.

What i meant is i usually spam scorch to proc improved because of the glyph to not lose dps . But when I'm in the raid with a lock it lose dps because it takes longer to get improved scorch. So ur saying i don't need to use scorch ? If there's a lock.
scorch doesn't "proc" improved scorch.. either it will put the debuff on, or it won't.. the only times it won't are -
A - you run with a warlock who is using improved shadow bolt
B - you run with a frost mage since Winter's Chill no longer stacks
C - you aren't talented with imp. scorch
D - you friggin miss with the spell (shouldn't be happening anyway)
If you've glyphed imp. scorch, you only need to put it on once for all 5 stacks.. it's not something that will proc on occasion or anything.. 1 cast - 5 stacks - start nuking. Don't spam scorch, that's just silly and will lower your dps considerably.
Find out if your warlock in the raid is using ISB or if he's doing other casts instead. If he's NOT using imp. shadow bolt, then go ahead and stack your scorch. if he IS, then you shouldn't even worry about it.
