This is a Magicka Dragonknight Build and Rotation for use in Stonethorn.
I was craving Spicy Chicken Wings at the time, but the place down the road was closed so I used it as the thumbnail instead :)
Massive thank you to Rosskag, who has provided us with the video and the details below.

Rotation
I have slotted all of the relevant Ardent Flame abilities on my front bar rather than backbar to make some use of the Seething Fury passive.
I cast Burning Embers and Engulfing Flames together because they are both 14-seconds long (order of these doesn't really matter). Eruption, Flames of Oblivion Degeneration and Rearming Trap should simply be cast on cooldown whenever the three dots above have been handled. Flames of Oblivion is interesting in some ways because since it only ticks every 5s if you reapply it as soon as it runs out, you can get 2 consecutive ticks.
Since the MagDK has many longer duration DOTs (class DOTs of duration 18, 15, 14 and 14 seconds), we have lots of time to use Molten Whip. Overwriting DOTs early to keep better uptimes is encouraged if there are some obvious clashes, but you'll have to be wary that if you overdo this, it means fewer casts of the whip.
Static Rotation
Start:
Flames of Oblivion x 3 (for Seething Fury)
Repeat:
Barbed Trap - Blockade - Eruption - Embers - Engulfing
Degeneration - Whip - Whip - Whip - Whip
Whip - Whip - Whip - Whip - Flames of Oblivion
During execute phase rotation remains unchanged
