I am not a mage but I still enjoy my theorycraft as much as the next man. I also really like the clearcast AM concept, but I'd say this is the way to go with it:

Spam Scorch to proc Clearcast, then burn that on AM.

With ignite, you are effectively getting 245% damage from your Scorch crits, and with Master of Elements you can keep up Scorch spam for quite a long time. With the new changes to +dam contribution from long-cast spells, Arcane Missiles gets 143% contribution from +dam over its full duration, and that makes Empowered Arcane Missiles incredibly good. With +1000 dam (sounds like a lot but trust me you will have this at 70), a Clearcasted Arcane Missiles will be averaging just over 1000 DPS before any other modifiers come into play.
