Combustion - Any good?

The title pretty much says it all.

I am struggling with my fire blaster and considering redoing him from scratch. Looking at the powers, one I have no real knowledge of is combustion. What do folks out there reckon to it as a power?

I like it. Basically it is a 0 range fireball. It uses the same animation as the tanker power, which is the same as Short Circuit for the Elec blaster primary. This is about 2-3 seconds.

FSC does more damage but as I got Combustion on my Fire Blaster at level 4 I didn't see the point of another PbAoE. Life was pretty busy doing the Fire Blaster Hokey Kokey with Fireball, Fire Breath and Combustion. Combustion has a bigger area than FSC though. I figured that was more useful.

Well I've only used it on my tank and it's great for doing AoE and grabbing aggro but as it doesn't do great damage I'm not so sure how it would play for a Blaster. Granted, Unthing seems to have had no problem with it.

Note that I had a tank to soak the aggro almost all of the time. It is a pretty much up close power.
