Trying to fully understand this set.
Does it proc when you use force shock from the destruction staff abilities ?
And when it procs , you do have 8 seconds of extra spell damage. Those 8 seconds ... are they for all your damage ?
In other words. Does that extra spelldamage work on you LA and HA , on other abilities (even if not flame) ?
And is it true that the extra spell damage is against all enemies , and not solely the one you just attacked ?
Well , then this seems a very very VERY good set !

When you deal damage with a Flame Damage ability, you apply the Burning status effect to the enemy and increase your Spell Damage by 490 for 8 seconds. These effects can occur once every 12 seconds.
You get a buff of 490 spell damage for 8s every 12s, effectively this gives you (490/12)x8=326.7 spell damage. So if you have maximum uptime the 5pc bonus is roughly 8% stronger than Julianos 300 spell damage for example. The downside cast strong attacks outside the proc window and miss out on the buff. If you proc BSW after 13s instead of 12s the effective buff is pretty much the same as Julianos.
I would recommend Siroria if you want a lot of spell dmg, Medusa is also very good but the fire staff has a low drop chance.

It procs off all flame but light and heavy attacks, but if you have a flame glyph it'll proc it then.

Any set that says "ability" also buffs and procs off of light attacks for the corresponding type. As far as sets are concerned ZOS considers light and heavy attacks abilities. If you are holding a flame staff your light attacks do indeed proc this set.
I feel like a lot of people on these forums never actually test anything out themselves.
