Just hit your enemy with each flame special. Each special will land it's own DOT. Keep in mind though, after the combat balance, you will only be able to put 1 DOT on an enemy.

Pretty much... just frustrating that it will be taken away while we are still left with such a weak DOT.

I thought that the DOTs from Flame Single 1, Flame Cone 1, Flame Single 2, and Flame Cone 2 all stack still. However this is not by design and will probably be taken care of with the CB. Of course, someone could correct me on this.

I'll have to test, but in PVP only the strongest of each type of dot stacks, unless the de-nerfed it.
I iwll test I hope your right

DOT stacking was removed for all DOT types back in December. A single player can't stack two DOT's of the same type. So Flamesingle1 and Flamecone1 won't stack if you use them both. They will stack if a second player fires one while you fire another. You can also use a flame DOT and a health DOT if you so desire, but again not two of the same type.
The removal of stacking DOT's nerfed all professions and was a really big deal at the time. It made it much harder to solo kill things. Of course in the same patch they also lowered the damage per tick. Made me not want to play for weeks.

they TOLD they were going to take dot stacking away, but they just nerfed them in dmg, and added the opening dmg for it. thats it. they still stack... (eg: I stack both health hit 1 and 2, mind shot 1 and 2..)
