I would not really recommend Breath of Fire, it is about a 10-20 degree cone with a 10 foot range. You are lucky if you get 2 people with it. Perhaps it may work with a Chilling Embrace with heavy slow. I would probably swap it with Icicles.
I would also consider Incinerate rather than GFS as IRC it is slightly better DPS and DPE.
@Unthing ... Mostly on Union.
You do not want to slot slow in CE, it slows down herding.

Only if you use it for herding, but im not seeing icicles here which is something id want but still you could group with team standing over 40ft back (if your herdpoints offer that kind of range at least then its a good herdpoint as you dont wont to group herd your team for the enemies pbaoes, aoes and cones), then turn CE on, count to 2 and say ready to the team, that would work with that amount of slows. However its down to you how you want to play and other people if they want to play that way. I think along the lines of if a tank needs to play their toon a certain way to be effective then let them, if they are playing ineffectively and you dont like it then leave. id agree with unthing with dropping firebreath for icicles, firebreath and frost for cones are a bit meh whereas the damage auras are great dpe and dps in comparison so id of chosen icicles over it.

With the gulf between the dpe of the 2 i also think this is right.
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
Icicles is there, at L30.
Personally though, I'd much prefer CE for herding, since it affects mobs instantly instead of being tick-based.

There's no point in slotting Combat Jumping for Defence, the amount you get from it is negligible.
Energy Absorption should really be slotted 3xrecharge, 3xdefence
