I feel like his passive gives him a lot of strategic value- having to decide between damages, stuns, etc.

In the scenario you're describing, ideal combo to maximize Blaze effects would be R onto target champion (to provide the initial Blaze), E champion (spread Blaze to nearby minion about to be hit by Pyroclasm), Q, then W to utilize all the Blaze effects.

In most 1v1s, you'll just E-Q for the stun then dump everything else for the damage- R first is only for when there are actually multiple targets for Pyroclasm to bounce to.

TL;DR- 1v1 E-Q-W-R, Teamfights/lane all-ins R-E-Q-W.
