40 arc / 21 frost builds perplex me. You don't have the sustained DPs of a fire mage, you don't have the snares and defenses of a frost mage. A fire mage is going to be dealing more damage than you on a fight, a frost mage is going to be slowing far far better than you can. Also, BTW, Molten fury means that Fire is capable of the highst burst potential sub 20%. Nothing is going to come close to fireball spamming at that point, especially with all the crit talents that fire has and the mana efficiency it's picking up along the way.
It was a good build for Molten core and BWL, but tbh arcane / frost really hasn't offered much in AQ40 or Naxx as far as we (my guild) has seen.

Basically, nothing in the fire or frost tree will directly boost the damage of AB/AM. So you get to choose your secondary based on what is helpful. Scorch is one way to go, Frostbolt another (especially if you want to use IceBlock while learning new instances). |
Not true, Molten fury is for ALL dmg. Not sure AB would be better sub 20% then fireball, but it does increase AB/AM dmg
Edit: Oh and Playing with Fire is ALL dmg as well;

Probably not the best build, but has potential to do some sick AB's sub 20%
