4) Since it's on a Clearcast it has a 30% higher chance to crit due to Arcane Potency. This likely applies to all ticks. 5 seconds worth of damage at a +30% crit? Yum
5) Spell Power increases the damage done by said missle crits.
6) Go back to chaincasting Arcane Blast, having not lost the chaincasting bonus while channeling AM for 5 seconds (Arcane Blast speed increase lasts 8 seconds)
Hot. Just hot. Amazing sustained damage here AND mana efficiency if you only cast AM on clearcasts.

There's just lots of things wrong here.
1) The expense of the spell increases with time. That's just a fact.
2) And Clearcasting doesn't proc just as often too. Since Clearcasting is a % chance, you're going to see more Clearcasts "on average", but you're also going to be paying quite heftily when it doesn't. Clearcasting isn't about time, it's about the mana.
3) You're going to get Empowered Missiles?
4) This is true.
5) This is true.
6) You're still going to run out of mana just as fast (if not faster) than Frost/Fire mages - they will all have Clearcasting too.
