No, it's not. It's actually one of the worst boni on epic mage-sets I've encountered so far. It only applies to Arcane Blast's base damage and seems to not scale with your spelldamage

Can you please explain why my arcane blast went from ~1550 to 1850-1950 damage after I got my tier 5 2 piece bonus? That sounds like an extra 20% or so to me. Could you also tell me of any other item upgrade or bonus in game that lets you get approximately +300 damage on one of your primary spells? Yes, I said +300.
It sure as hell sounds like an amazing bonus to me.
To the original poster: The first time I specced arcane I did terrible on gruul too!. Being fire is 'easy' to do. But, you need a little practise at playing arcane to control your mana usage and rotations. After some practise I did alot better.
Don't give up - practise a little, ask other experienced arcane mages for tips - and you might be surprised at the results.
