Well, I hate to reply to myself, but some testing tonight results in answers and more questions! With only a fire bonus on my bracers, I replaced the cubed Cindercoat with Pride's Fall - that way, I could test each of the elements by only reenchanting my bracers. A fair test. What I found is that the fire damage is doing way more damage than anticipated. Compared to either holy or lightning, the crit numbers displayed are 2.5x - 3x higher. I don't understand why, but it looks like that moots the question. I still wouldn't mind not having to slot cindercoat... I'll try some more wit

How critical is cindercoat? Would you consider cubing the belt instead, and looking for a witching hour? As an alternative, I could consider instead cubing tzo krin. You'd lose the 150% WoL, but you could gain that back, plus some survivability by enabling endless walk (plus still having another ring slot open). Too bad Stone of Jordan doesn't have enough primaries to really allow an optimal role. But the point of either of these options is that Cindercoat is the only thing in this build tying you to fire. Lightning WoL would pretty massively increase this build's single target damage.
