I'm not saying you are or aren't correct in your assessment of the quality of the posts you're responding to, but you are being unnecessarily rude in terms of pointing it out. If you think their posts are unnecessary or useless, report them and, if we agree, we'll deal with it. But performing a little backseat moderation and being a jerk about it doesn't really improve the quality of the thread at all.

Arcane Blast is no longer able to achieve a 1.5 second cast time through its debuff. Mirror Image, Ice Block, and Fade work effectively in the same fashion if the previously stated threat reduction aura effect of MI is to be interpreted as a temporary effect. You lose threat and/or aggro, then regain threat and/or aggro when the aura wears off. They are not true threat dumps like invis. If MI relegates the player to only using scorch, it isn't worth using since it would be a net dps loss. Read 1-10 pages above in the thread.

Roywyn and several others have done and posted the calculations in this thread. Missile Barrage in ArBarr rotations with other spells is raid viable, but nowhere near as good as pure AB spam currently. Read 1-10 pages above in the thread.

As of the newest patch it seems that you are no longer able to remove the switching aspect of the spell through removal of the debuff. Read 1*-10 pages above in the thread.

Has anyone else noticed an increase in "I haven't read the thread (or much of anything about Wrath), but I'll add my 2 cents to the discussion or ask a previously answered question."-type posts? Seriously, 3 in a row.
