ABr has a 3 sec cooldown, the GDC is 1.5 seconds. You are trying to push a point based of casting 6 spells, one of which has a 3 sec cooldown, back to back, over a 6 second timeframe? And having it do 10k damage? Your math is not just off, its kinda out of this world. To make this clear, a lot can happen in 6-9 seconds, your opponent will not be just standing there and taking it, and neither will his partner, that combo is far from interruptable, mages are probably the easiest class to shut down, arcane mages, even more so. The great thing about the shatter combo is that it produces similar damage, but is repeatable and can be done without the mage being locked into a combo for 6 seconds or more.

As far as your point about AM goes. Almost every single high end arena player sees the unchallenged use of AM in dealing with pillar humpers due to the spell not requiring LOS checks during channel.
And as far as your point of mace stun being a proc too, yes, it is, however no warrior RELIES on mace stun to win matches. In short, mace stun is not the reason warriors win matches in the arenas, it is not part of the strategy, it is nothing more than an added bonus.
