Read more, read a LOT more, we're not here to hand hold and tell you how to DPS at a basic level.
Original Post:
I've read a few pages here (including original post) and I'm attempting to figure out why my arcane mage has some unacceptable dps. Single target, no-movement fights I can hit about 4100 dps on average. I feel this is low for my gear level and I want to make sure I have the right mindset.

What I currently do is Arcane Blast to fish for an Missile Barrage and then I hit Arcane Missiles. Should I not care about the proc and be doing a simple Arcane Blastx3 and then Arcane Missiles. I even tried a rotation of Arcane Blast until proc and then cancel the current cast of Arcane Blast to get AM off. Honestly the dps didnt change much. It's also possible that I dont understand Skada's dps monitor enough to know if there are qwerks to its dps monitor. Can anyone provide some assistance? Also one last question: Sometimes in a fight I can cast Arcane Blast up to 7 times (which seems impossible) before getting a proc, is there some bug I am unaware of?
