Anyone else face this issue? Kind of bums me out that I can't use my Blaster I've been working on to her full potential.
I haven't had any problems with it. My burn now seems to do ridicules amounts of damage though!

Mmm, weird. 
I just tried turning my graphics down to minimum to see if the effect persists, and yep, it does. Here's a picture of the effect that lags my computer to death:

Try you have chat logging on, turn it off. That has solved similar problems for other people.

It helps to zoom out more with powers like that on some machines. Although I can't understand why a proc would add lag video lag. Then again coh isn't as video optimized as other games are and seems to be very hard on systems despite systems like that running games like crysis, STO and DC on full settings with no video lag.

think his reasoning is that the game is logging each tick of burn and each tick is checking reactive for a proc so you are likely generating huge amounts of data from all the hit check/proc check/damage calc's and your computer is logging it in a txt file if you have chat logging enabled.|

i have no idea if that is the case, if it is you could also turn off sending of buff numbers by right clicking your buff icons. that may also help.
Turning the chat log off solved it! I'm also not seeing any stuttering in game now which I'd occasionally get in combat. Thanks guys.
Has anyone else experience something similar to this? I just upgraded my Interface slot to add the fire damage proc. I click the Burn patch button and all I see is a slideshow of a giant orange cloud. This happens to a lesser extend with other abilities as well. I can't play with the Interface proc slotted because the video lag it induces is too much.
I'm running a GeForce 260 GTX and a 3.0ghz dual core and don't experience much lag normally. I recently updated my drivers as well.
