I'd probably use fireball/phoenix instead of rodgort.
I used to run a fire farming build for mid-game farming. After AoE change, i used Fireball, phoenix, flame-strike and inferno at 15 fire. Timers work out pretty well, and damage output is quite decent, but mostly, i never had problems with running, although phoenix does trigger it (i think, its been a while since i last used it).
Energy used with these 4 was rather high, but manageble.
Cannot really comment on how 55 builds handle desert, never used them there.
