One thing to keep in mind is that Energy Blast has a lot of knockback and /Fire mainly relies on PBAoE damage. Energy Torrent and Explosive Blast will tend to knock things out of Blazing Aura range a lot (though honestly, Blazing Aura's radius is so small I wouldn't bother taking it) and make it a bit trickier to use Fire Sword Circle or Burn (which you need to take, they're both great AoEs).
On the other hand, using walls and corners well can reduce the headache caused by the knockback and it is decent mitigation, which is handy for a /Fire Blaster. But if you just want a damage aura and aren't planning to actually get in there using Fire Sword Circle and Burn then I'd go /Electric instead... there's really no point in going /Fire unless you plan to stay up in the middle of enemy spawns, and if you're doing that why not grab the hard hitting AoEs? /Electric also has a 20 foot radius damage aura and it has some nice melee attacks plus Power Sink for endurance management so it'd be better if you plan to open up at range and then smack things that reach you rather than just jumping into the middle of a spawn.

The synergy here is just horrible.
You have one set that specializes in knocking things OUT of melee range, paired with another set that specializes in killing large groups IN melee range.
Your primary and secondary will be working against each other most of the time. You want sets that will work well together.
Edit: I'm not trying to talk you out of playing it, just want you to be aware that your primary and secondary will not work very well together.
