Night Fae Heart of the Fae - Shifting Power can be channeled while moving. Each enemy hit by Shifting Power grants you 1% Critical Strike and Haste, up to 10% for 10 sec.

With Firestorm and Sun King's Blessing, increased amounts of Fire Blast leads to more Hot Streaks, which then lead to more procs.

With Fevered Incantation, more Combustion casts throughout the fight leads to higher overall uptime.

With Temporal Warp, Time Warp becomes a personal cooldown, which adds yet another cooldown to reduce.

Grove Invigoration is a stacking buff that grants increased health and Mastery.

Niya's Tools: Burrs is a passive damage proc but not worth losing a Potency Conduit for.

Niya's Tools: Poison applies a DoT to the target when you successfully interrupt. If the target is interrupted again in 30 seconds it deals additional damage.

Bonded Hearts acts as a buff for allies.

Podtender is a cheat death effect on a 10-minute cooldown. For raiding, this ability makes Forgeborne Reveries and Service In Stone look unappealing by comparison. It takes 10 seconds to fully activate, but that's a small price to pay for a second chance. Cheat death abilities are extremely powerful in raiding, especially in progression. Fire Mages also have Cauterize baseline which gives us a total of 3 lives. The downside is that the absorb it gives is fairly small.

Social Butterfly is a great trait but not worth losing the Potency slot for.

Field of Blossoms increases Haste by 12% for 15 seconds after using Shifting Power. Haste is a Fire Mage's best secondary stat, especially in AoE with Flame Patch. Given the short cooldown of Shifting Power, this leads to high uptime and makes Dreamweaver the best Soulbind for Mythic+.

Dream Delver is a flat percent damage increase. This is a boring trait, but it's still good.

Korayn

Wild Hunt Tactics is a flat 10% damage buff to targets above 75% health, which is great for Fire Mage burst.

First Strike is not worth taking since it costs a Potency slot.

Wild Hunt Strategem flips the script on Wild Hunt Tactics granting more damage in execute if you can also deal damage to high health mobs to proc the high health damage buff.
