Pick a target that isn't moving much and cast Fire Storm.
Immediately use Shadow Prison followed up by Iron Palm.
Cast Bed of Coals while your target is knocked down, followed by Shock for another knockdown and burning.
Finally, use Flame Djinn's Haste for a final spike and a speed boost to kite while waiting for your combo to recharge.

General caster counters (Dazed, interrupts, hexes, etc.)

Hex Breaker
High armor enchantments
Knockdown prevention skills
Variants
Replace Resurrection Signet with a self heal for Alliance Battles or Competitive Missions.
Replace Fire Storm with Searing Heat or Teinai's Heat for a bigger AoE spell. It doesn't last as long, but causes burning.
Glyph of Lesser Energy can be use in place of Fire Attunement.
If energy is not a problem, consider replacing Fire Attunement with a self heal.
Entangling Asp could be a good option instead of Shock. Although it can't be used on demand, it poisons your target and doesn't cause exhaustion.
Notes
Although you don't have a self heal, you have several ways to defend yourself. As previously stated, Flame Djinn's Haste grants a speed boost for kiting. You also have a snare, a Shadow Step, two knockdown skills, and Bed of Coals, which can scare away melee attackers.
