I leveled as frost, and when I came to 80 I specced Arcane since it's like insane dps and stuff.
But, then I realized that Arcane Mages goes OOM very fast, and can't really do as much dps as you should. In form of stacking Arcane debuff x3 and spamming Arcane Blast + Missiles.
So I went Fire, with icy veins and hit rating from frost.
It works great for me, and there's really a lot more fun to play than spam 3 buttons ;p
Actually... I've proven that Arcane is probably the best DPS spec if you stack haste, considering i've had 17 mages ask me for advice on my 3.9k dps in heroics. in 25 man naxx my DPS is around 5.9 - 6.2 depending on perks, eg. heroism.
Then again, on Thaddius/Loatheb it shoots wayyyyy up! ^^
good damage but honestly fire mages are so OP and u should be crittin MUCH higher if ur targeting something 10 levels below u. my friend beta tested and hit a 11k w/ his shadow priest. on a 70 dummy. he only hits 4-6k on 80

as arcane i can easily put out 4k dps on boss encounters, and over a short heroic boss with a heroism can get over 7k

you went oom? you obviously was using a wrong rotation, and even stacking it to 2 debuffs on longer fights can still easily get 3k+ dps
