I had a burning discharger ( before it got nerfed like hell by GGG ) and it was very effective.
But, reflect apart, direct damage is still more effective and safer globally.

Safer then jogging around, waiting for stuff to melt?

A nicely linked Searing touch isn't expensive for nothing, you know, and I remember it being dirt-cheap in CB. Guess people found out just how safe and effective burn is.

burning isnt really that safe since while mobs are burning they are still dealing full damage to you

cold or phys dmg is way safer than that due to slow/freeze and stun

Try using temp chains,they are not going anywhere :)

Why no trapper?

Full converted Beartrap dmg (avatar + quiver) + Firetrap.

Physical damage does'nt stun any better than other types of damage.

i did mention bear trap in the OP.Imagine bear trap+added fire damage+chance to ignite+ele prolif,and dual curse the mobs with temp chains/flammability.

Lava Lash + Arsonist

I'm thinking of making a fire spec two handed train to pound town!

Would this 6 slot be good?

Infernal Blow
Melee physical
Melee splash
Multistrike
Fire Pen
Ele Proliferation

fixed that for you ;)

even better,replace melle splash with added fire damage,who cares if you only hit 1 target,when you proc ignite it burns everything anyway

You dont need that. IB is strong already (IB+melee splash+multistrike/added fire+fast attacks+melee phys dmg+wed. Currently using it at 86 and its op
Ele prolif/fire pen/ignite is wasted on it, because IB is oriented about exploding mobs (which makes it the most fun skill in the game imho).
If you want a melee burning build use The Godeess Scorned
