Squishy, I had a look at your armory. I'm impressed to say, there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. Enchants are fine (If I was picky I'd argue 12int over 15dmg bracers, but that's a matter of opinion) gems are fine, meta is fine, gearing is fine.

The only two things I find slightly odd are: 1) you seem to have low int for an arcane build of my liking. Granted, you're gemmed for +dmg and this is expected but this is making your regeneration suffer very, very badly. This is doubly worrying when I noticed (2) you're wearing Molten. If you're wearing molten for farm purposes, by all means go ahead. If you're raiding with Molten, you haven't understood how arcane works.

You should be in Mage armor and you should gear yourself a little bit more towards mana regen. For my liking you've got way too little int/spirit and your gear perfectly shows you've just swapped from another non-arcane spec. Aim for boots from Lurker, and another two parts T5. Head and gloves will be absolutely mint-perfect for you. The set bonus on it is devastatingly good, particularly at your level. Bracers should be swapped for either ZA ones or ideally Rage Winterchill's.

While it's possible to play arcane with low regeneration you will suffer greatly on long fights. The whole aim should be to maximize AB/Frbolt ratio.

As an indication to what I mean, I'm currently on the upper limit of how much regen I'd like to have (ie. on some technical fights it's so much I can't dump it and overflow 1-2k mana over the whole fight). Fully raid-buffed I'm on 460mp5 -while casting- on the paper doll. And around 1430 spell-damage with no totem, in case you're wondering if so much int/spi is gimping the +dmg.
