1. 'Relatively' cheap as a caster for high lab.
I know this is disputable but please consider the 11 lodestones on my voidstar caster gears.
2. Very decent clearspeed
3. Extremely good damage against all type of bosses you may engage in lab
4. Tankiness from his high hp, good regen and defence.
Contra
1. Can't have a bear companion
2. No MS buff
3. Consumes many healing pots
4. Risky playstyle. You'll get hit a lot and sometimes die. If you go extreme slow with distracting minions(harvesters) like other casters, then it's fine.
5. Still not super-op compared with the beamer guys and star shooters.
Please note that I haven't invested much on the equipments. Most pieces are from my voidstar caster and not optimized for fire caster.
With proper BiS gears and some more relics, fire druid can perform significantly better than this.

Thanks to
mortimer_85, for telling me the potential of Fireman, giving me the inspiration of the build and recommendations for gear-selection.
Ben_, for generously sharing all knowledge he got.
