I'd like to suggest this recipe changes from the Firebomb and a unit of oil to the Oil-Flask and a unit of Oil.
List of reasons:
1.) The Fire Wall at early levels is not as effective as the big fire-pool of a normal fire-bomb, though it becomes more useful later.
2.) The T1 ability costs more to use than the T2, and T3 abilities due to the fact it works off the fire-bomb.
3.) Since in many cases the normal bomb is more useful than the wall, especially early on, switching up the recipe to Flask + Unit Fuel allows low-encumberance characters to stream-line their munitions for going down this line. IE: you need oil and oil flasks for the first 3-4 tiers and then need the fire bombs only for Tier 4/5 depending which route you go down.
Secondary Suggestion: Flip the T1 and T2 abilities in Pyro, giving dabblers and fledglings access to the more controlled, weaker fire-damage of a fire-pellet grenade which is easier to use without hurting the party (lower DC on the throw, smaller AOE, body-blocked from friendly targets).
Tertiary Suggestion: Include a -2 to the DC of throwing Fire-Bombs as part of the Fire-Wall ability, so that it can be used more safely, considering how disastrous it is putting a line of fire straight down the hallway your friends are in.
