I love this forum as well, because it's not filled with blog posts and random musings.

Original Post:
I'm able to do a lot higher DPS with arcane than I can with fire or frost, though there are a lot of fights where arcane isn't practical because so little of it is instant cast. But I never use blizzard - arcane explosion does a LOT more damage than blizzard when you are specced arcane.
I have noticed a couple of odd things - when I started collecting T12 gear, my DPS took a huge hit. To the tune of 4,000 points. As I added more T12 gear and more level 364 and 378 rings and such - it has gone back to where it was but it surprised me that my DPS would go DOWN with better gear and appropriate reforges to keep my mastery, hit and crit balanced. It's almost worth NOT replacing any gear with T12 until you have at least 3 gear items from the Firehawk set.
And can anyone tell me why my crits are 20K higher on average against the large berzerker trolls that you fight right before Jin'do the Godbreaker in Zul'Gurub than they are against any other trash mobs? Do they have some kind of vulnerability to arcane spells?
I love this forum BTW - I have never seen so many well informed arcane mages in one place before.
