Granted that is just straight out using the ability once. TD does have a cool down while FB does not. I agree that for a top tier ability it is rather lack luster.

Pyro is definitely a spec that you have to watch your heat management. When I pay attention to my heat everything goes fine but I can easily get off track and wind up with high heat levels. True the spec is reliant on PPA procs for max DPS, but overall it works out fine.

Also, I put 2/2 GAJ and 2/3 ICP to help a little with heat.

Asmiroth is the man on the numbers and I would suggest checking out his spreadsheet.

I assume this is in response to me. I suppose what I was getting at is that TD does basically the same damage as FB+the guaranteed Combustible Cylinder proc but that FB also has the 30% PPA chance. I realize you'll get some over lap of Combustible Cylinder if you keep spamming FB. But I just question if the extra talents picked up by the points used by getting TD could be put to better use to get a tiny but more dps over all. You could easily pick up the extra 6% aim and 3% railshot dmg or etc..
