Personally, I play a mage and I've always loved Arcane. I wanted a staff. But with the data available to me a month ago, Arcane was very very bad and would not be viable for much of anything. I picked fire, despite not really liking it much. Now that I've devoted all AP I've gotten into that and Arcane is being buffed to a playable state, I'm disappointed. We don't yet have the artifact knowledge levels to make respeccing easy at all.
