My head hurts reading your post...

The mistakes I see...

Elipses have 3 periods '...' and it's not appropriate to use them to indicate a dramatic pause.
Pressing enter at the end of each sentence makes your post annoying to read. Gather your comments together in paragraphs. If are making a list then use bullet points like this.
Generalised comments about how other, unspecified player are doing it wrong is unhelpful. If you are responding to a particular post in this thread, then use the quote button.
If you want to contribute to the theorycraft then making an assertion and following with "I'm not sure on it" means you should have done some more research before posting.

My head hurts reading this topic..

The mistakes I see..

I see many mages that are running with the 359 T11 getting confused and using 4-set T11 over T12.

T11 4-set is only a DPS increase if you have access to T11.5 (HC). I'm running with the 2-set bonus from both sets and keeping AB at 1.1 under TW in favour of Mastery. I'm finding this a better set-up, I may be wrong.

I didn't have access to T11.5 as I dropped to Social when my guild hit hard-modes.

I also see mages using Fireorb while Arcane Potency is up - waste of GCD which could of been an AB (cast it pre-pull or while you Evocate).

I do have a question though with Presence of Mind even though it's theoretically better to use pre-pull and then after your first two ABs. It seems to muck up my rotation and that pause after it's cast. I'm not sure on it. I tend to hold it for movement or, mana gem if required.
