I applaud your initiative in making this thread Alvira, lets hope it turns into fruitful discussion regarding arcane and arcane DPS.
5 * 0.0093271 * Spirit * Square_root ( Intellect ) is the formula relating mp5 with int/spirit.
Gear:
As arcane you should be looking for the stam/int/spirit gear available(along with spriests) instead of the fire mage/destro lock stam/int pieces available. These stats are inherent in our tiered loot however in choices such as velvet boots of the guardian from lurker or boot of blasting (ssc/tk crafted) assuming your are hit capped the lurker boots would be more beneficial towards mp5 and AB spam uptime.
I am a 40/0/21 mage (4/5 hyjal 3/9 BT) and recently I have invoked the 2 cycle theory of playing. I use 2 spell cycles;
1) AB spam (high DPS high DPM) pots/gems/evocate
2) AB(1) FrB FrB (or however many FrB you can achieve with spellhaste before you can reapply AB(1) with speed bonus)
The AB with filler FrB I find to give mana back at a very high rate and is easily to manipulate when ranking up AB using the AB-->FrB-->AB(2)-->FrB etc method. I'm interested in hearing other peoples ideas/styles on filler for arcane.
