Once I can get to 90-95% my theoretical damage in standing fights and can maintain most of that in things like sart+3d I'll be bored and want to experiment with arcane. For now, I gotta get out of the crawl stage.

TBH, I found Arcane much easier to play than FFB. Dealing with LBs, scorch, and Pyro proc's felt a little too much like playing a warlock, and I never cared much for that playstyle (ie managing DoT timers). I was never coming close to what Rawr said I should be with FFB. When I switched to arcane the first week of the changes, even using a very subpar dps rotation I still improved my DPS (I was doing AB-ABarr pretty much the whole night I believe). It probably had a lot more to do with me being under hit cap for FFB than anything (the dps increase anyway - me not matching Rawr is probably just my inability to manage everything), but the playstyle is much more simplistic to me and I can execute it far more consistently.
