Overall, with similar skill levels and gear levels it actually seems that arcane pulls ahead of ffb, but this could be due to the itemization of the available gear (arcane scales very well with haste, whereas ffb scales very well with crit). But this doesnt mean that every mage should just switch to arcane, it takes more skill to keep your rotation tight as arcane, so less skilled mages should stick to ffb, plus imp scorch is too important a buff to not have in a raid situation.
