The 1st (0:15) and 2nd (1:10) clips are part of the attempt where I parsed 220k dps.

The 3rd clip (1:52) is a previous attempt with a good combust, but we wiped later on.

Secret to getting a big ignite:
Let ignite fall off right before burn phase starts.
Even if you ignore everything else below, just doing this part right will give you a big combustion.
What I've discovered through testing:
If I chain cast thru the entire tornado phase and continue chain casting into the burn phase, it is very difficult to get a big ignite even if all my procs line up and I stack my cooldowns perfectly (i.e. I never see ignite go higher than 125-150k).
If I let ignite fall off before burn phase begins, then stack a FRESH ignite after the boss gains the +50% dmg taken debuff, I can easily get a 300k+ ignite with just 5-6 pyros.
My theory behind this:
If you chain cast the entire time, your ignite never falls off from the time you get Alysra's Razor (+75%crit). And if you roll an "old" ignite into the burn phase, the old ignite is not fully benefitting (if even benefitting at all) from the +50% dmg taken debuff the boss gets during burn phase.
However, if you let the old ignite fall off, and then right after the boss gets +50% dmg taken, you pop all your cooldowns, you will get a new ignite that stacks up really fast.
The theory is that, it is difficult to build up an old ignite that has been on the boss for a long time. It is much easier to get a large ignite by stacking a FRESH one after burn phase starts.

Ways to let old ignite fall off:
As you notice video, I begin casting AB when tornado phase is almost over. This gives the old ignite time to fall off before burn phase starts.
Other spells you can cast include LB, flame orb, frostbolt, etc or anything else that doesn't refresh ignite. AB is prob the best dmg though. But remember, once you start casting pyros in burn phase, you don't want to cast LB again until right before Combustion.

Nice. What's that addon that shows arcance blast stacks and time? Tried to do something similar with 'tell me when' but was never able to set it up properly.

[LogozRR]

@gxpr123 Elkano Buff Bars. It's the same thing I use to show all my procs in the middle-top of my screen.

[PyroVK]

is the mage nuggets ignite feature as good as mybigignite?

[LogozRR]

@PyroVK I have not used mage nuggets so I'm not sure. But myBigIgnite does exactly what I want it to.

@xxedoxxx Engineering enchant.

@llindvior Very nice :D

[llindvior]

@luko1010 got 260k combustion ticks, and 353k ignite ticking at maximum, i missed the opportunity for 353k tick combustion, but i'm quite amazed how easy it is now with refreshing a new ignite. I don't spread combustion so I only got 100k dps, guildies are putting the log on WoLs soon :D.

[luko1010]

@llindvior Correct, and many people do stop casting during tornadoes for internal cooldowns. Personally I like to just keep casting and then arcane blast and living bomb when the boss lands to let ignite fall off and then stack it up again, like is done in the video.

[llindvior]

@luko1010 OMG so you mean the ignite that was rolling starting from air phase will not be increased by boss's +damage debuff during burn phase? If it's only arcane blast and living bomb, then we might as well just stop casting to let all internal cooldowns refresh?

[Vargkusin]

@SterbenderMoloch The classic piece is from Vivaldis Four Seasons. The remix i have no idea.

[luko1010]

@llindvior You stop stacking ignite going into the burn phase anyway and let ignite fall off by casting arcane blast and refreshing living bomb, then you start rolling ignite when the boss takes +damage so that ignite is affected by it, and hence a much larger combust.

@xxedoxxx It'll be for the Synapse Springs on his gloves.
