I know it's been a few weeks since you posted and surprised no one responded yet.  Here are a few suggestions for you to consider....

• Ring of Fire - does really good damage and you're better slotting for damage instead of immob duration.
• Fire Ball - Try using Ragnarok Set with the Chance for KD proc instead of the Overwhelming Force.  The OF set doesn't provide as much damage bonus as Rags do.  And with Rag set, you may be able to drop to 4 or 5 slots (depending on preference) and still get to the ED cap of damage (or over) and use those extra slots elsewhere.
• Cauterizing Aura - you're going to want to take it much earlier if you want to run all those toggles. So you're gonna want it as soon as you can get it at lvl 20.   
• Hasten - take it later in your build, probably after Cauterizing Aura.  Not only is the end crash sucky at lower levels, but faster recharge on your powers means you're gonna spend more endurance faster.
• Leadership and Fighting Pools - you don't need them that early.  And again, you're not going to have the endurance to run them anyway until you get Cauterizing Aura (at lvl 20, hopefully).  Then you can take Blaze earlier too.
  • Tactics - Gaussian Chance for Build up doesn't work well in this.  It procs not as often as you'd like (because of how procs work in toggles like this) and rarely does proc while you're actually in combat. I would suggest dropping Tactics altogether and pickup Build or Aim and put the Gaussian proc in there - it almost always procs since it is a click power with a decent length recharge.
  • Tough - I see you're just using it to carry the "specials." It's a waste of the power, imo. Slot it for resistance and add in some of the specials and do the same with Fire Shield. You'll probably get your S/L resistance to cap if you do. Aegis special, not really needed - you barely notice its affects, if at all. There are other ways to get KD protection early that you can consider as well. 
  • Weave - similar to tough... it's being wasted as a carrier for specials.  If you only want the specials, then slot it for defense and drop Maneuvers for Combat Jumping.  Maneuvers doesn't provide as much defense as Weave, and Combat Jumping is a much cheaper toggle to run and it also give you immob protection.
  • Final thoughts on these 2 pools in your build - You didn't take Hot Feet, Fire Sword, Fire Sword Circle, or other melee/PBAOE powers so you obviously seem to be more of a "ranged" blaster than one who likes being in the the middle of things. That is perfectly fine. So given this, consider dropping Leadership and Fighting pools and pick up other powers you've missed out on:  Build Up and Aim will serve you really well at range, maybe pick up Stealth, Enflame, Melt Armor, or many other things that will not be heavy toggles. You can still find other powers to carry your IO specials and set bonuses.  ...just something to consider.  And if you do drop all those toggles - still take Cauterizing Aura at lvl 20!  🙂 
• Consume - It's only 1-slotted so I'm guessing this is just to help out in emergency situations.  Which is fine since with Cauterizing Aura, you rarely need Consume. But that means you don't really need it to recharge faster. So you're better off with an Accuracy in it so that when you do use it, it hits.
• Bonfire - use the Overwhelming Force set here for the KB-to-KD proc and the damage bonus the set provides.  Sudden Acceleration doesn't provide any damage bonus to the power. While the floes flop around, they might as well take more damage!
• Arcane Bolt - it's a "meh" power.  It's ok, but not the best. I have it on several toons as well.  But I'm guessing you're taking it mostly so you can get Rune of Protection.  In which case, I wouldn't devote 6 slots to it and use some of those slots elsewhere.  I'd 6-slot Ring of Fire for damage over Arcane Bolt (and even Flares) any day.

I hope this helps.
