    Only when you learn calculus can you learn the arcane mage.

    For a arcane rotation you already got enough quite good proposals so i spare that out.
    Well, you are Lvl 68, so grinding instances is still a good Option.
    But once you passed 70, you will notice that you really need to grind a LOT to gain a level, while doing some quests benefits you more.
    I personally dont like questing but well, when i can go 2 times faster, there is not too much of a choice .

    So anyway yeah do your instaces when you got quest for em, that rocks but meanwhile questing should really boost your level Speed.
    Thus said, i´d rather recommend going frost until 78 or 80, since you can then do most of the group quests alone then. But if you like it the more, you can as well level & Quest as arcane mage.

    You shouldn't worry about your DPS in your level, is more a max level thing, else it would be 4 Arcane Blast and then Arcane Missiles as it procs

    Depnds on your mana if the boss is at 10% and you still got 80% mana then use another arcane blast. The more arcane blast you can spam the better. If you got 4 stacks no proc and 10% mana then use barrage. There is not 1 single rotation arcane is about knowing when and how to use your mana without going oom between evocation cds.

    No, use Arcane Missiles without proc if you need to break a stack. Only use Arcane Barrage if you need to move. In general, you should be able to afford a few casts at 4 stack to 'fish' for a proc.

    tbh, go frost until 80, its by far the best lvling specc for mages. So the best answer is to seek you trainer up. But if you really wanna go arcane for some reason i'd say use a frostbolt and/or a fire blast to get the debuff away.

    hope it helps. havent tried this at all, its just a fast thought.

    this makes leveling a breeze and still does crazy good dps in randoms at lower levels
