Bonfire is an excellent AoE knockbacker, can preveng u from being attacked and its specially usefull in corners and narrow corridors. Since u got FF as a secondarie it will be mainly teamed-oriented, but also handy when soloing if u want foes dead quicklier :P (more info on the guide posted below (http://uk.boards.cityofheroes.com/sh...fpart=1#404831) 
Bonfire is great, Drop it in a door way to stop more mobs adding up...Get your tank to round the mobs into a corner and keep em bouncing.
Great power, could i live without it? Yeah...would I want to? No.
Tank? and when there's no tank?? 
... well then..
1. Put PFF on (this step must not be skipped 
)
2. Go herd 2-3 groups
3. When u got their attention, turn a corner
4. Turn off PFF
5. use bonfire on the corner
6. Summon imps
7. Turn on PFF again
8. Go for a ciggy
9. Go back to ur seat, foes will be dead and imps beside u waiting for some bananas as a reward
There's something you might want to know : against +5 and over, Bonfire becomes knockdown instead of knockback, so it's as effective as Ice slick. (not to mention you can have 2 Bonfire out at a time)
As you're fire/FF, it can be useful if you're in a group of higher levels and there's no room for sk'ing. Bubbles + Bonfire and you're still contributing a great deal.
I love bonfire! Careful how you use it though, melee types might not like you scattering their groups if you place it badly.
Personally I would skip Hot Feet. I tried it, enjoyed it, faceplanted a lot. I just couldn't use it properly i guess.
Thx all great help only ten lvls till Bonfire i didnt take hot feet so far i have taken from the fire power set is: Char, Fire cages, Smoke an flashfire. The FF side i have: PFF, an force bubble 
wish i took deflection now. But thanks all for the help
