  Looks good. I have been playing a Fire basically since the game began and it rocks. The only recommendation I would say is switch your Endurance SSS to Dexterity. Slot a little extra Rec or End with your Talents. But, I play with a 25 Rec and 10 End and rarely have to use my EB. The extra crits from Dex are going to outweigh having to toss an EB into the mix every now and then. And, really, the only time you'll need your EB is at the beginning of combat. After that, your Thermal Reverb will keep you going. Sometimes I forget to even turn my EB on.
  
  I would say dump Ice Sheath and get Fire Snake instead. Unless you are going with 3+ AOs that you rotate, there is little benefit from just having one. FS reduces their defenses and adds Clinging Flames, so you both do more damage and get more energy.
  
  Personally, I don't use Rimefire Burst because I see no need for it, but if you like it, go for it.
  
  I do like Absorb Heat, partly just for flavor. I have never been a fan of Conviction, but that's mainly because I get tired of clicking it all the time. Absorb Heat does create some issues, like not being able to hide and heal, but I still love it.
  
  But, really, looks like a great build. Now get out there and burn stuff to the ground!

  This is my main toon that I use for everything. Loved fire since day 1 and have used it since then. The last power, Defile is there only because Kigatilik requires a single target attack sometimes and I didn't have one. Usually Absorb Heat is in that spot, but Defile is there until I get Hydras, which is taking way longer than I would like...
  
  I think the superstats are where they need to be. I don't think Dex is needed anywhere in here, unless you plan on staying with Merc gear for awhile. Once you get Legion gear or higher, the Precision gear will make up for it.
  
  I used this toon to solo the portals/nightmare dailies until I got Holy Water and am usually top 5 in cosmics/colossi fights...I actually tanked a Colossus for his last half a bub once, but I think it was more luck on timing MD, Heroic Resonance, and Blood Moon bubble than anything else. Teleiosaurus still gives me fits, but I think that's more player error than lack of build efficiency.

  Don't be like the Qularr. They would not last one round in the Interstellar Galactic Arena...
