Mage - Frost
Describe the Issue
The addon tries to cast a lot of frostfire bolts at the start of aoe when playing Death's Chill to stack it up as per the APL, however in practice this is not a useful recommendation. You are not playing deaths chill unless you want primarily ST damage, and in ST you do not play around the talent at all so it won't be stacked when adds spawn on a fight. Spamming FFB when adds spawn makes you do less st damage and less aoe damage, assuming they will die quickly worst of both worlds.
IMO the first line should of the aoe_ff/cleave_ff list should be removed or a toggle of some sort should be added.
How to Reproduce
Play deaths chill and hit aoe dummies

You are 2 versions out of date, this doesn't happen on the newest version. Make sure you keep your addon updated!

I'm with the latest build and can confirm that it still happens
The rotation seems to be correct as-is. It's only 3 frostfire bolts, 1 of which is guaranteed to be instant cast. If adds are dying before your can cast 2 bolts, you should probably just damage the boss anyways.
I can make a change that will properly add 3 stacks of chill instead of 1 in AoE, so that the queue only shows 3 frostfirebolts instead of 10. But you should be casting 3.

Hmm, I made sure I updated so not sure how that happened, updated now though. Maybe just a wowup bug. The behaviour is the same though.
Most of the time in raid (the only time when you are playing full ST talents atm) you don't care about minmaxxing the cleave to this extent (or you'd be playing other talents) and/or your bolts won't consistently hit 2 extra enemies when the aoe triggers so it will be more than 3 frostbolts to fully stack it. A toggle would be appreciated imo
