Not debating the scaling. Frostbolt does scale better than AM. I went back and rechecked after our last discussion and it turns out that the big determining factor is not +hit, as I'd thought, but rather the extra 172 damage on AM from Spellfire. Frostbolt scaling does overcome this in the t6 range, but for most situations while wearing spellfire, AM is equal or better in terms of DPS and the dpm varies by JoW or no JoW, as mentioned. This is significant because spellfire is best in slot in terms of dps until well into t6, particularly if you're stacking int.
Basically, Spellfire==investigate 50/0/11 in your raid environment. No Spellfire == 40/0/21 always.
