Rotation
1. Put
Rune of Power
down. Re-make it when their is 1 second left on it.
2.
Arcane Missiles
When ever you can.
3.
Arcane Barrage
When you have 4
s.
4. Put
Nether Tempest
on and refresh it before it ends, or when you have a lot of intellect buffs at the time.
5. Cast
Arcane Blast
to build up
s.
You should stay around 100% mana at all times, without being exactly 100%.
You have the right idea about using
Alter Time
with
Arcane Power
. It will increase the duration of the increase damage effect to 21 seconds (make sure to have 4
before using the
Alter Time
!) If you let the
Alter Time
run the whole 6 seconds, be sure to cast
Arcane Barrage
RIGHT before it ends!
KEEP YOUR
Mana Gem
/
Brilliant Mana Gem
FOR THE
Alter Time
!
Use
Mirror Image
as much as you can during the fight.
When battling 2 monters
Keep
Nether Tempest
on both monsters and do the Rotation.
When battling 3 monters
Keep
Nether Tempest
on all three monsters, and use your rotation on one of them, but cast
Arcane Barrage
at 2
s.
When Battling 4 monsters
Keep
Nether Tempest
on all four monsters, and use your rotation on one of them, but cast
Arcane Barrage
at 3
s.
When battling 5+ monsters
Keep
Nether Tempest
on all monsters, and use your rotation on one of them.
When any of the monsters are low health
Spam
Arcane Explosion
and cast
Arcane Barrage
when you have 4
.
You should always have
on at all times. Unless your gear is below Tier 15 level, then you will want to have
.
Your gear may also need some optimizing, to check, click -->

Wow, I like how Lightlar went the whole way to link his post up. Thumbs up man!
Also, don't pay too much attention to the dps ranking from noxxic. They are pulled from simulationcraft, which is not that great for ranking the different specs.

Is there any reasonable place to view dps rankings?
To be honest, not really.
You could go to Raidbots to show how the specs are performing, but those are heavily biased by sample size and "community consensus".
What raids are you doing anyway? LFR? Normal? Heroics? What type of guild are you running with?
Unless you're running with the best of the best hardcore progression guild, you probably shouldn't worry too much about dps ranking and just do your best with your chosen spec.

we are also heavily reliant on gear now. i was having the same problem untill i started getting higher gear levels. there is a huge dps diff between just the 476/48(9?) epics and having 502/522 more so than there should be if u ask me

Indeed there is:

You should probably adjust for only EU/US rankings, as i'm fairly certain that the Asian servers follow other rules (like their 25man raids still give better loot than 10man afaik).
Also any question about Arcane, I'm pretty sure I'm answering in my
Arcane Guide
, or just let me know and I will :)
