Im currently Master rifle/flame 4 and i ussually go hunt large mobs that takes alot of time to kill.
I have a flame thrower with a damage slice (11xx max dmg) but 4.8 speed.
Im now thinking:is the damage of the flame thrower DOT linked together with the max damage of the weapon?
I do massive damage with my T21 and i think the delay of my flame single2/1 cone 1 DOT stack is making me kill mobs slower because of the long delay. If i could land the dots faster i would be able to get some more rifle shots in.
So im thinkingabout using a speed sliced flamer (im getting one with 3.4 speed) but nowim not sure if my DOT will be too weak compared with the damage sliced one 
Has anyone had some experience with this?

by the sounds of things, dot's have been crippled a little while ago - i recently got a ft with 850 (ish) damage and 3.6 speed and i'm well happy - the dot is a bonus

I don't really think it is. I mean, I have landed (granted, this only happened one time, and its never been repeated), a 11,000 damage DoT. Yes, 11k a tick. On what? I Giant Dune Kimo. 100% heat resist. Loot? Stupid creature...

I got about 15 Flame Throwers ranging from Krayt's to uber dmg models (I've seen much nicer than mine posted here tho) and I always find ole faithfull back in my paws.
Yes my main FT is a speed sliced and built model at 3.4 speed and 850ish top end dmg. I find this hits plenty hard dots ok and gets the job done quick.
