I think you're playing ember wrong. Look at it more simply. Ember has utility in 2 and 4 with the Firequake augment, and some alright damage along with it. Building Ember for Maximization is stupid, since her abilities are pretty widely spread with uses and involvements coming from almost all effectors on almost all of her abilities.

Play ember more as a weapons platform, drop on Vitality, so you don't get one shot, grab streamline, flow, intensity, steel charge, stretch, cunning drift, and transient fortitude, and try and act more liek a bruiser than a nova. Put in damage, do some Crowd Control, get out, and repeat, you'll do pretty well except on high up alerts or against heavy corpus. Accelerant isn't meant to increase weapon damage, it's meant to stun surrounding enemies and buff up World on Fire with the damage multiplier, it also increases cast speed, so you can drop a couple fire blasts down and if you've got Fire Fright on that's even more crowd control.
