Is Avatar of Fire worth it?

The more I look at the skill the less I seem to like it. Does it need a buff or something?

The only thing I've managed to theory craft with it I like is a Burning Arrow Build using for 100% physical to fire damage conversion. (Plus added fire damage from the gem and Burning arrow for a big increase in fire damage from physical damage)

What are you guys thinking? Does the passive need adjusted at all?

It also pairs well with Molten Strike to convert all damage done to fire. Unfortunately it's still weak against very fire-resistant enemies, but that's the risk you run.

Your black gleam would be redundant, wouldn't it?

It stacks...so you'd get 100% physical too fire damage conversion

crazy build idea: use Lightning Strike/Arc/Lightning Arrow and Avatar Of Fire to ignite enemies.

or maybe combine with

to Shock with every hit, of every skill.

The best way I can think of is to use it with some kind of ignite build from infernal blow or molten strike, so that the ignite is a lot stronger from getting the physical converted.
Everything else makes it seem really inefficient.

All right here is an idea that I'm not sure someone has posted but I've wanted to do for a little while. A frozen arrow, avatar of fire build. Use the new Pyre (awesome), hatred, and hrimmsorrow gloves for nearly 100% conversion to cold, then transfer it all to fire. You could also have almost this same effect with EK as a caster. Chernobogs or blackgleam extra and may or may not be worth it.

yes
