Even though you said not to suggest talent changes I'll give you some feedback on it. When you're going for pure arcane builds the most important benefit is the high +to hit from talents. If you take Improved AM you should max out Arcane Focus (take points out of Prismatic Cloak if you want the talents you've taken in Frost and Fire tree) and gear appropriately, that is 6% hit from gear (5% with draenei shaman in group, 2% if he's got wrath totem). Your gear is severely lacking in int and spi for a pure arcane build, also invest in some proc per hit gear.

Next, take a look at Vontre's spreadsheet to determine your optimal AB cycle. You said you like hitting just one button, but that just won't cut it for arcane. You have to dynamically adjust to situation and change your cycle on the fly to adapt your dps/dpm. If you end the fight with >0 mana that's just not acceptable for an arcane mage.

As far as Gruul goes just use a standard AB cycle, stay at 30 yards all the time all the way until ground slam, rotate in air and blink to a free location.
