    Been working on my mage.

    I just recently specced arcane. 57/3/11

    Here are my current stats self-buffed:
    Spellpower - 2277
    Crit - 29.46% (831)
    Haste - 15.86% (520)

    Hp:16073
    Mana:21603

    Opinions please on crit and haste,or anything you may pick up from my armoury link.
    Here's my armoury link:http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sh...kull&n=Metysja

    I also have one question on spell rotation,its: ABx3,AM/Abarr......now its always good to cast AM after the ABx3.So is it worth casting Abarr after AM?and then goin back to ABx3

    Please note,that the armoury has not yet updated my spec.
    Thanks in advance

    Edit:spell rotation

    No, do not cast arcane barrage after AM.

    If the current gear on your armory is what you're using, you're way over the hit cap. You gain 6% hit from talents, plus another 3% from raid buffs. This would put you at 23.33% hit, 6.33% more than you need. Replacing Dying Curse would be a good idea if you have another strong trinket.

    Installing Rawr running an optimize or two with all your currently available gear would help narrow down where you can make some improvements.

    Arcane Barrage is a usefull cast if you have to move.

    From what I heard the Volatile Power Trinkets are pretty awful for mages in their current form. It takes a long time to stack the buff with our cast-times and usually the buff runs out bevor it reached its maximum potential. So the average haste gain is pretty low.
    As an arcane mage you want a usable trinket that gives an immediate haste or spellpower buff.

    Talsman of Resurgence is pretty easy to get if you do 10 and 25 man TOC and the daily heroic instance. It only cost 50 Emblems of Triumph.

    The only other high item-lvl trinkets with an usable effect are harder to get since they drop in ulduar.

    Living Flame

    Scale of Fates

    There are a few other good trinkets for arcane mages with proccing or passive stacking effects:

    Eye of the Broodmother

    Pandoras Plea

    Elemental Focus Stone

    Abyssal Rune
    http://www.wowhead.com/?item=47213

    Embrace of the Spider
    http://www.wowhead.com/?item=39229

    Abyssal Rune is farmable in TOC 5 man non-heroic. The other trinkets are harder to get.

    Changing your legs would also be a good way to dump excess HIT. Even the T9 conquest legs would be a 90dps upgrade for you.

    Best advice though is download rawr and go from there.
