It'd better. /grumble
They won't change the others, it was just fireball that had gotten out of hand. It was higher DPM and DPS than any other nuke in the game, and it scaled better than any other nuke because of the combination of talents you could get for it.

What they *should* do however, is give Scorch a 10% bonus to spell damage from this talent, like they have Wrath for Druids. Scorch is really losing a huge amount of appeal in the expansion, and it would be nice to give it a bit of a bigger boost.

Re. Judgement of Wisdom - I don't factor it in because with 2 / 3 paladins per raid maximum, and with what every alliance player always says about maintaining the judgement on raid mobs, I think it's a bit disingenious to use it to justify Arcanes DPM. Especially as a lot of fights involve more than one boss, even in 5 player groups, and as soon as that happens Arcane Missiles returns to being a silly ungodly amount of mana per cast. Whilst it's a nice boost, I don't think it's strong enough or will be up on the target your hitting long enough to justify moulding all our theorycraft around it.
