Sigh... probably just missing something here, but does disembarking from a transport count as moving? If not, you could do some very, very silly things with fireblade augmented squads.

Depends - are you asking about the part where they are placed in base contact with the Access Point, or the subsequent move (taking difficult/dangerous terrain tests as necessary) immediately thereafter?

Yes, the transport can only move 6" and the troops inside can then disembark up to 6" away. So they will count as moving.

Even just disembarking touching the access point still counts as the unit having moved for the purposes of shooting (which would disallow Fireblade's special rule from being used).

Oh alright... crud. There goes bringing back FoF.

Bring 3 fish, one of which has an ethereal. FoF is still alive.

Okay, do the DA type thing by just running those all together like a wall?

I'm not sure I'm following on that?

With the new DA codex, it seems like the popular thing is loading everything into a big wall of Landraiders, and their banners still work from inside.

On another note, there isn't a rule to prevent multiple Fireblades in a unit like there is for ethereal's Extra Shot thing?

It's really a situation that's sort of pointless to ponder, since it is never going to be an effective use of HQ slots to put two Cadre Fireblades into a single FW squad in order to boost their shooting up potentially 2 shots.

In other words, if someone was crazy enough to do that, regardless of anything else I'd just let them do it because its such a stupid use of points and HQ slots that I'm not going to argue.

Could you have 4 (with double FOC) in a squad so that it can fire 6 shots per man?

Sure, you could just buy more fire warriors instead though.

Yes, sure you could do that I guess... But just because you CAN do a thing, doesn't necessarily mean it is a smart idea or that you SHOULD do it...
