Interesting discussion.
I personally favor Fire Ball over any other spell. With a successful critical, I did approximately 1600 damage on orcs at level 60. I haven't killed orcs since, so I'm not sure what I do now at 66.
My personal chain is as follows:
Iblast -> MM -> Fball -> MM -> MB -> MM -> Fbolt -> MM -> Lbolt/Mblast/Fear, dependent on remaining health of the mob, and repeated.
I have never personally found preference for Lighting Blast, seeing as I do roughly 20 more damage at 200 extra SP over Lightning Bolt. Magic Blast is relatively decent, usually dealing ~200 more damage than a normal level 1 spell. Using this chain, I usually only sustain ~800 damage from Blue Clover Trumpies and Red Stonies.
