For starters, My Armory.

I started playing WoW again after about a 1.5 year vacation. I've been back for almost 1.5 months. I joined a guild in which a mage there said that a good raiding spec was 40/0/21. I didn't know any better and he'd been to SSC and TK, so why not take his advice. I've since left that guild and joined up with my buddy who got me back into WoW. He also told me to come here and read your forums because I've been frustrated with my build and my DPS. I started reading these forums yesterday and it seems I should actually be 2/48/11. With the 40/0/21 build, I'm usually between 885-980ish DPS(depending on if I remember to use my cool downs as much as possible). I know I should be able to do more though.

I guess my main questions are, 1) I'm pretty sure I'll have to regem some of my gear, any comments/tips there? 2) I haven't been fire since Sapphiron. Is the spell rotation still 5xSc, 8xFB, 1xSc repeat?

My raiding atm consists of Kara, ZA, Gruul's and Mag. I usually place 2nd in DPS behind a hunter. He's always 1K DPS.
