Dragon's Breath

Dragon's Breath is a talent-trained point-blank area of effect mage spell that deals fire direct damage and disorients all enemies for 5 seconds. The area of effect is similar to Cone of Cold, a 90 degree arc region extending 10 yards in front of the caster.

Talent improvement
Dragon's Breath deals fire damage, and thus gains the benefit of the talents Master of Elements, Ignite, Fire Power, Impact, Molten Fury.

As with all mage spells capable of critical hits Shatter can increase the effective damage output of this spell.

Tips and tricks
The disorient effect makes this spell not only useful to kite an opponent, but also to interrupt spell casting. Although there is no spell lockout such as with Counterspell, interrupting a spell for 5 seconds is sometimes all you need.

A notable use for Dragon's Breath is that it will interrupt most all abilities that are otherwise impossible to interrupt. Several trash mobs in Black Temple, for instance, are uninterruptible, save for Dragon's Breath. While the target is immune to the actual disorient effect, their casting will be interrupted. Some examples of abilities that dragon's breath can interrupt include:
 * Coilskar Sea-Caller's Forked Lightning, Hurricane, and Summon Geyser.
 * Illidari Heartseeker's Rapid Shot.
