Okay, here is my current bombing set:
Fused Demo Suit
Spike Shower/Radiant Sun Shards
Heavy Deconstructor/Master Blast bomb
Graviton Bomb
Plasma Capacitor
Elite Bomb Focus Module
Bomb focus Module
So I basically want to know if I should get a Bombastic Demo Suit, a Volcanic Demo Suit, or a Mad Bomber Suit.
And if anyone has other tips, feel free to say them :D
Thanks :)
If you are going with Mad, be well acquainted with remedy pills, shielding and running away.
Volcanic is good for an all-rounder set.
Bombastic is horrible, don't go for it.
No Bombastic! D: Even Heavy Demo is actually better than Bombastic for Bomb DPS.
The Bomber Guide in the wiki goes over different sets:

I use the Hybrid approach myself then use either a UV or a trinket to reach CTR Max - probably the most important aspect to obtain for bombers.
Honestly though, if you are going to eventually have two Elite Bomb Focus Modules then you don't even need to wear bomber gear since your bombs will have CTR Max at Level 10. With the bomber sets you can forgo one or two Focus trinkets, perhaps replace them with Elite Boom Module(s).
See, I was thinking that I should get Bombastic Demo Suit because I'm going to get two Elite Bomb Focus Modules, so I figured that I could use a little extra damage.
You should definitely read the Elit Bomber Thread wiki page. It will clear up some things for you. It has a section in it called "The Regretful Bomber", this section includes Bombastic Set and Heavy Deconstructor.

Whoops, I didn't read Culture's post.
I saw that you already referred Michaelb to the wiki page. xD
Bombastic Demo doesn't have fire resist... :D
If you go full Volc Demo and 2 bomb damage modules... you might be better off.
If you want to run with trinkets, go Mad Bomber and get some status trinkets now that they actually work.
You should never need to run with two focus modules with bomber gear. Sell them off and get some Elite Boom Modules if you want more DPS. Get one if you're going Mad (and use the other for the appropriate status trinket), or two if you're going Mad/Volcanic and want a little extra punch on fire theme levels.
You could plausibly keep the standard focus module if you wanted to go full volcanic (like, if you don't have enough tokens or crowns to buy status resist trinkets).
The two Elite Focus Modules are useful for PvP. If you want to play as Striker and be a bomber you'll need to overcome the Bomb CTR Very High penalty, which two Elite Focus Modules do perfectly. This also assumes one is going full Mad Bomber or Volcanic Demo, of course.
If you really want to try full Bombastic and two Elite Focus Modules, feel free to do so and let us know how it works for you. I think you would be the first ever to try out that combination. :)
One other idea for a setup...
Bombastic Demo Helm
Mad Bomber Suit
Elite Focus Module
Elite Boom Module
With a Level 10 bomb you'll have CTR Max, Damage Ultra. This will also leave the door open for a future revision, for FSC, which would give you CTR and Damage Max:
Volcanic Demo Helm
Mad Bomber Suit
Elite Boom Module
Elite Boom Module
Nice bomb setup, by the way. One thing I'd recommend is dropping the Heavy Deconstructor. Once you have a Nitronome, it makes the Heavy Decon obsolete since it will do better damage and range than the Heavy Decon.
anything but the bombtastic, period
