Back to the topic:

The main interest about Brand's ult is that you have to set it up for it to work. So you can't randomly nuke an enemy totally alone, or in the middle of a minion wave without spreading Blaze first (W+E does the work). I think it fits Brand's theme pretty well: his whole kit is pretty much based on Blaze anyways. And considering the absurb damage Pyroclasm can deal, I'd say it's a fair enough compromise.

Brand has huge damage. The 2 reasons why he is not played are his lack of reliable CC and, of course, the fact that he suffers from the infamous no-mobility-AP-carry syndrom. In this meta, if you ever miss one single ability as Brand, you simply die.
