It seems to me that Arcane has both their spammed spell (AB) AND their proc spell (AM) buffed, while Fire has only their spam spell buffed, but not their proc spell (Pyroblast) - same for frost, only the spam spell is buffed.Increases the critical strike chance of your Fireball, Frostbolt, Frostfire Bolt, Arcane Missiles, and Arcane Blast spells by 5%.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but does this set bonus benefit Arcane mages more than Fire or Frost mages? Or does the fact that for fire, the increased crit% from the set bonus increases both the damage on the spam spell (FB) as well as the chance to proc hot streak even it out?

On a similar note (although I may have to post on the lock board for an answer) - the warlock T9 4-piece set bonus seems to have a similarly imbalanced emphasis on Affliction over Destruction:
Destro locks are only benefiting from the bonus to immo, while Affliction locks are benefiting from bonuses to both corruption AND UA.Increases the damage done by your Immolate, Corruption, and Unstable Affliction spells by 10%.
Thanks in advance for any comments or clarification on these set bonuses.
