Original Post:
In response to adding Raid Utility to the Arcane spec. What kind of "unbalance" aspects could be seen if you gave Arcane Barrage a haste buff along the lines of the Scorch buff (the 5% crit to spells).

I could see this adding back in the Arcane Barrage into the rotation for raid utiity, while maybe lowering dps a little due to having to cast it, but scorch does pretty much the same thing for those lucky "Scorch Slaves".

Call it Arcanist's Gravitation or something along that line causes all melee and magical attacks to "gravitate" to the target increasing haste by 5%. To offset the fact that it costs more mana to apply this debuff (18% vs 8%), the damage could be left alone and the debuff could last 45 seconds as opposed to 30. A single application instant cast debuff to start a boss fight with would bring some utility to the spec. Not sure how this might affect PvP, but just a thought that might be passed on to developers.
