my question is: what's the point of having 2 charges of inferno blast if I only use it to spread combustion or to get a pyro from a heating up buff?
maybe a second one is used to spread LB to other adds when it's around 3 or less secs?

Other than for the 2pc trick that's posted in this forum, it makes spreading dots easier; for example, you can save one charge for when adds show up, and use the other one to proc pyro. It's a really nice quality of life change

You'll see why 2-pieces is so important

The change means that you can cast IB much more often. AT first to get at PB! after heating up. And secondly: After Fireball+Pyro, if only 1 of them crit, immediately use IB to go from "Pyro!" to "Pyro! + Heating Up.
There is just a practical problem, that you have to wait and see if only 1 has critted. It means that you loose time to wait for it. Am I right and is there a nice solution for this?

There is no 'waiting time', if you react fast you can decide to Inferno blast or not before the GCD is up.

Try standing on max range to the boss and say that again

Sure, in melee range there is no waiting time, but the travel time is >GCD on max range.
