You cannot re-roll the fire dmg from Cinder/Magefist. They are locked to fire.
Eh, i know unfortunately.
But on the good side there are the tasker&Theo gloves, which boost pets attack speed. Given my wolves now crit something like 4 millions on elites (thanks SoJ :D) it's quite a nice improvement to damage. Also, i'm aiming to get the Marauder 4 set bonus, to have even more beasts out.
Physical build has less total elemental damage %, but the damage is increased for all the ability in my build instead of only CA + generator, so it offsets pretty well. If now i'm able to get a good pair of reaper's i'm going also with FoK, which i love and hits for quite a bunch.
EDIT: i don't know if only a part of the spell is turned into physical, but the affix boosts the entire spell damage since it's flagged as physical and i can confirm that (i ran the build with and without elemental affixes to see how number changed).
Don't know about the misssiles thing, but i will look at it - i know that if CA is fire on an empty place, no missiles spawn. Hope this is not true for bosses and/or it's not working as intended if behaviour is confirmed
EDIT2: well, wording from CA is pretty clear, it says "up to 3 rockets", which means if only one target is out, only 1 missile will fire. /sadpanda
My personal idea around a ballistic-centered build - LINK
Why Evasive Fire - well, more hatred generation than standard ones, hits 3 targets for a decent amount of damage and the physical dmg rune has 2 advantages: getting the elemental bonuses from gear and boosting survivability when needed without loss of control over your DH.
I don't use Vengeance not because it's not powerful, but the long CD makes it less useful - idally you want it ready when an elite pack/boss is up, but 90 seconds CD is too long for my tastes; also Wolf companinon already fits this place really good. Instead Prep+Punishment grants a truckload of hatred as needed, and Discipline regen is granted by Nightstalker (which works pretty well with CA and Ballistic due to additional attacks.
I'm passing over Archery, but is worth for a nearly endless supply of discipline/hatred. Also, my build is more discipline intensive than others which are passing over things like Cloak - i just prefer to stay on the safe side.
EDIT: CLoak with healing rune grants me enough healing to survive packs without worrying about healing stats on gear. We have already difficulties in raidng damae and toughness, so being able to pass over one of the three is pretty good.
EDIT2: very likely Reaper's Wraps are going to replace both Prep and Nightstalker. Instead of Prep I could put Vengeance or Rain, more likely the second one because of short cd and possible way to get 4 natalya.
