Aye purely a matter of preference now, and whether you can "spare" a glyph slot for that.
Personally, I find that FFB looks cooler, but I prefer the visual cast animation and the sound of Fire spells. So I'll be sticking with Fireball myself ^^

Personally I use FFB while leveling/questing and FB during dugeons and raids.
The slow for Solo PvE is worth it imo.

If you want to mix/max at 90 for raids and dungeons, don't take Glyph of FFB.
It is in no way a DPS increase in that field, and the slow is pretty much worthless during raids and dungeons too. It's a glyph slot wasted instead of getting something for survivability/damage.
Now, if you aren't min/maxing, or if you're leveling, or if you just do dailies and farm, then the glyph is perfectly fine. I personally use it when I do dailies, or when I'm just running a heroic and feeling too lazy to switch the glyph to something else.

I disagree. There are no glyphs I would consider mandatory that using 1 slot for Frostfire bolt would be a dps loss.

I don't raid anymore so I don't know anything beyond Mogu'shan Vaults LFR, but are there (or could there be in the two other raids) some encounters where Glyph of Combustion will be important?
Like I said, I don't know, but if there is some sort of Magmaw-esque mechanic, that could be a reason where we'd need that third slot.

Important, sure. Mandatory, probably not.
Here's a list of glyphs that could potentially be a dps gain to a fire mage:
- Combustion
- Fireblast
... and that's it. And even those 2 glyphs are highly situational; in a fight with no adds, Fireblast is useless. Combustion can be a dps gain, but only if the fight duration or mechanic benefits it.
So yeah, not really hard to slot in FFB is you want to.
