Ensure Scorch or equivalent debuff is on the target (Demo Lock)
Keep Living Bomb on the target but make sure you allow it to finish (explode) before you recast it
Cast Fireball when you don't have anything else to do
When you gain the Hot Streak buff, use Pyroblast which becomes an instant cast with Hot Streak
