first of all as a druid, you should not be concerned with dps unless you are root rotting, which you wouldn't use flame lick for because of the DD component. fire dots aren't worth using while root rotting unless you have an outside source of clarity, until higher levels, even then it's not efficient just quicker. in a party u shouldn't even have that shit on your bar.
so to begin with, by doing this you're already wasting mana on things you don't need to be doing. if you have a free clicky dot, great, but otherwise i wouldn't use them grouping at low levels.
but in addition you're relying on melee players getting aggro on the CC targets, risking breaking CC, making your enchanter's life a nightmare if there is one. in some group compositions you could do more net harm than good by being there by flame licking shit.
you're making more work for everyone else in the party by playing like that. sure it might work in a theoretical situation where everyone in the party is compensating for your playstyle, in the right zone or whatever. but for the most part it's a bad+dumb strategy that will cause more problems than good.
also gaining the flame lick aggro can make you risk pulling aggro when snaring, which is 1 of your roles much more important than a shitty fire dot. like all i can say is play a rogue at low levels and you'll know right away how worthless that druid dot is.
