Pros: Long range / comparable, if not identical, DPM as regular nukes of the same level

Cons: Can accidentally hit targets between you and your intended target / terrain features can block the path

In essence, the bolt line is fine in many circumstances, but might want to be avoided in crowded dungeons (lots of mobs mez'd on top of each other and your target), or hilly terrain (Cauldron?).
You hit the nail on the head.

Burn....................14 damage..........15 mana..........200 range......0.93 DPM
Flame Bolt............47 damage.........40 mana..........300 range.......1.18 DPM
Shock of Flame.....96 damage.........70 mana...........200 range......1.37 DPM
Bolt of Flame.......156 damage.......105 mana..........300 range......1.49 DPM
Blaze..................295 damage.......155 mana..........200 range......1.90 DPM
Cinder Bolt..........333 damage......175 mana...........300 range......1.90 DPM

These are some base numbers. However also keep in mind there's a difference between being evoc spec'd and conj spec'd. These numbers get really out of whack if you're conjuration spec'd due to the mana savings.
