I think the "mana neutral" rotation won't be a rotation at all. It seems to me that it will be a set of priorities:

1) Is Arcane Missiles up? If yes, cast Arcane Missiles.
2) Is Arcane Barrage on...

That's what he appears to be saying. That is the only way I could see Arcane Barrage doing more damage than Arcane Missiles.

These two points reflect my own feelings.

Having a rotation that is reliant on RNG to cast one of its primary spells does not appeal to me. That's why I liked the auto-AM activating version of...

I think that is a brilliant idea. I wish I could post on the Cataclysm forums to throw my support behind it there.

It also fits in with the "time" theme that the Arcane spec seems to lean towards;...

Ah, I see. In that case, the 0/0/0 tooltip for Arcane Blast on the PTR reads that the base damage is 1185 to 1377. If it helps, I noticed that the spell was hitting for around 250 damage more than...

On the PTR, the tooltip specifies the base damage of Arcane Blast to be 1256 to 1460. On live, the tooltip specifies 966 to 1122. My spec was same for both live and the PTR (59/0/12).
