there has been a debate about this for a while, some people say they do stack and some say they don't.... i've heard more people say they don't after 9.3, but i've never had a concrete answer from someone who's done serious testing...

oh, and the reason no one really wants to test them is because if we know for sure that they DO stack then they will go bye bye....

Im probably shooting myself in the foot by saying this, but they do stack. Or rather they can. Apparently the chance to get them all to stick is somewhere between slim and none - but I have stacked all of them since the last patch. It just takes several applications of them to do so.
Edit: To Griegette (original poster): Since Im on the same server as you - if you want to take a bit of time to test this out and try and figure out a rough percentage of the times they stack let me know. Lockke or Valentine in game.

ive tried, but ive never gotten them to stack. i got all three to hit and saw no overall increase in the amount of DOT damage done.

I've always noticed that a flame from either cone attack and a flame from any single attack will stack. Sometimes it becomes a huge burn or two small burns, one after the other. I've had friends tell me all 4 will stack, but I've not been able to replicate this.

I'll tell you again.. i have got all 4 to stack... infact i stacked them in this manner and then peaced on the Kemo; flameS2,FlameC1,FlameS1,FlameC2... i then peaced.... what i saw was 4 burns one after the other... one large (about 1000) one small (about 600) then another large (about 900) then another small (about 600 again)... this is could see is 4 different burns clearly... and in fact after the 4th one... the time between the last burn and the first burn of the next tick (as in back to FlameS2 burn) was so short that it was almost continuos... i can so say.. for me atleast... on the infinity server... THEY DO 
P.S it's not hard... it happens everytime... only thing is that our DOT doesn't stick everytime.. and so you may not always stick 4 anyway... but it's very common for me.

Ohh, they stack. I've tested it out on big critters (100k HAM+), and they stack perfectly. You won't notice it on the weak things with less than 20k HAM though.

did you do this before or after 9.3?
