@shazz: If the other mage is in MH/BT gear, there's no way you're going to beat him with the gear you have now, regardless of spec. But it sounds like you'll be gearing up quickly. As for gems, damage tends to be favored by rawr up until around 1200. Personally I gem +dmg, unless the socket bonus is worthwhile and requires yellow.
@arnorian: spellfire is quite good, and many mages wear it into MH/BT. Its biggest weakness is the lack of stas, which only really becomes a problem in, again, MH/BT. Its not worth breaking it for BoB alone. Some say that BoB + badge gloves are worth it, which is certainly debatable. You could try running the rawr optimizer, which should tell you a good overall picture of what to do (as opposed to comparing one piece of gear at a time)
