I haven't seen this trick mentioned before, but an Elemental Warlock with MC Wizard (or a Hybrid) can get:
Yorgrix's Brutality = +2/4/6 Poison => Fire Damage with Elemental (more versatility with powers)
Hellfire Master => 5+CHA Fire
Icy Clutch of Stygia => 5/10+CHA Cold
Consuming the Weak => Ongoing 5 Fire every hit
Pernicious Onslaught => Fail = Same damage to adjacent
So, if the target fails:
+4/6 damage next round
15/20+CHA Damage
5 Fire to adjacent enemy (who might well be Vulnerable, too)
If it suceeds:
20/30+CHA*2
Not a bad idea for a Hellish Rebuke addon, no?

Main issues are that it's going to require party op to get your damage type set to fire efficiently and you don't have a way of getting the fire vuln up early.

You mean like the Minor Action your Warlock's Curse takes? That's hardly a large price to pay for the effect...
Or do you mean the Second Wing 1/encounter? Well worth it, and you're a CONlock, so you have plenty to spare.

You also have to drop (or bloody with a feat) a monster before this works.

Not really. You generally end a fight with at least one Cursed enemy dying. Keep it for the next fight, or even day. It doesn't go away after a rest.
Unless you do something stupid like let it surrender, you're never without an Elemental Pact Boon.

And the problem of PO being adjacent creature, not enemy. Have to be careful with that one.

That is very true, yes. If it's next to you, however, you're pretty safe, what with the racial Fire Resistance.

Not sure where you're getting those numbers. On a Failure, one adjacent creature takes 5 fire damage and you will be dealing +4/6 damage to the target next round. There is no 15/20+Cha.

What doesn't go away after a rest?
