Dear gunhound45,

EJ class mechanics forums are a place for in depth discussions of the class mechanics, especially end game class mechanics. As such, it is expected that people do their own research and present new ideas for discussion and edification of the all involved. This is not a Q&A thread for how to play a fire spec mage. Answer to many of your questions can be obtained by reading the thread you posted in.

You were presented with the forum rules when you sign up, but perhaps you neglected to read it. Please take the time to read it now:

Hopefully this reminder and your rereading of the forum rules will result in better and infraction free participation from you in the future. Regards,

I find that my dps is lacking somewhat compared to other fire mages, I think I am doing something wrong to say the least.
World of Logs - Real Time Raid Analysis

Any suggestions?

Also:

1. Out of Rune of Zeth, Foul gift of the demon lord, and Necromatic focus, which 2 should I use?

2. Should I aim to have 2005 haste out of a raid, with no buffs?

3. Should I be trusting Rawr? (I find it to be very inaccurate atm, for fire at least)

4. Is it worth stopping a fireball/scorch cast to use a hot streak proc?

5. What Ignite value should I be looking to be around before using combustion?

6. Is it better to use fewer but better Combustions, or more but weaker Combustions in a fight?

Here is a video of me playing, the only thing that I see myself doing wrong is using scorch too much, and perhaps waiting too long for a good combustion.

Thanks for your help.
