should i put points into Fire Bolt of Mastery?

I'm at a bit of a crossroads with my meteorb sorc. I'm finding Fireball to be much more user friendly PVM but the massive amounts of damage that meteor does is very helpful, especially now that i'm figuring out how to use it.

However, I'm a level away from maxing fireball, meteor, frozen orb, and enough points in CM to get it to 16 with +skills (tal's set & anni)

i've heard many people say dump the rest of points or w/e into fire mastery, but looking at the numbers makes me scratch my head a bit. with fire bolt you get a +14% synergy and +5% synergy to fireball and meteor respectively. however, with fire mastery i'd get a 7% damage bonus to both.

how much of a difference does that 2% make over time? i'm lv 71 right now i am not in a position to max both. i'm strongly leaning towards upping firebolt the rest of the way since meteor does so much damage already. is this a bonehead move or is there something i'm not seeing? i still have 19 points worth of synergy to get from firebolt...but mastery has no cap.

any thoughts or input would be greatly appreciated :)
