Well, I just started a blaster 8 hours ago, but to me caltrops is "teh win".
Round up a 2-3 groups of -1 or even cons, pop an enrage, hit Caltrops+ Rain of Fire + FireBall + FireBreath and clean up any remaining stragglers with FireBlast. Rinse and Repeat.
Don't group until they revoke the 6/9 patch. It's just not worth it if you are trying to level.
