[REC] Frostfire Mage Double Flurry Not Recommending Ahead of Time

Before You Begin

Before we dive into the issue at hand, please ensure that you have the latest version of the addon installed. Additionally, confirm that you are not playing on a private server. It's also essential to check for any existing, open tickets related to this issue on the addon's GitHub page. If you've done so and still encounter the problem, proceed with editing the title of this issue to accurately describe the issue you're reporting. Lastly, note that this issue is related to the default priority included with the specialization, and edited or imported priorities are not supported.

Spec

Mage - Frost

Describe the Issue

When playing the Frost specialization, there's a specific situation where you want to cast back-to-back flurries. However, the addon fails to recommend this ahead of time. This issue arises after casting an instant-cast Frostfire Bolt (Flash Freezeburn), which grants excess Fire and Ice. The first flurry cast is triggered by the normal "last cast was Frostfire Bolt" condition, while the next cast is triggered by the "if excess Fire and Ice are up" condition to avoid losing a Brain Freeze proc.

The Importance of Double Flurry

Double flurry is a crucial aspect of Frostfire Mage gameplay, as it allows for efficient use of cooldowns and maximizes damage output. However, the addon's failure to recommend this ahead of time can lead to suboptimal decision-making and reduced performance in high-pressure situations.

How to Reproduce

To reproduce this issue, follow these steps:

Play Frostfire with AoE Talents: Ensure that you have the necessary AoE talents equipped to facilitate the double flurry behavior.
Disable Cooldowns for Ease of Testing: Disable cooldowns to simplify the testing process and focus on the issue at hand.
Follow Recommendations: Follow the addon's recommendations, and wait for a proc of Flash Freezeburn or trigger it with Icy Veins.
Trigger Excess Fire and Ice: Cast Frostfire Bolt, which should grant excess Fire and Ice, triggering the double flurry behavior.
