The 4-set will on occasion allow you to get greater combustions through pyro crits when preparing the PoM - AT Combustion. It's a decent buff overall.

I dunno, I just ran some numbers running the 4 set against the current Tier 2 set and Pyro will still do roughly 5% extra damage with this Tiers 2 Set. Depending on the base stat increases of the new gear, I think a Tier 14 HC 2 Set and Tier 15 Normal 2 Set may be more beneficial than the 4 set, at least until Tier 15 HC gear.
Again, will have to wait and see if what the base stat updates from T14 HC to T15 Normal will be, we do know from previous history (Firelands -> Dragon Soul) that the Tier 14 HC gear will be still much better than T15 LFR gear and may only be only 4-5 ilvls behind the normal ones.
4 pc seems good for arcane. Perhaps too good. Let's hope they dont balance arcane around the assumption everyone has it. As for fire... we shouldnt bother. They wont design anything cool. They're just waiting for us getting more crit and the spec fix itself. It's called lazy design.
2-set bonus now instead of 5100 Haste after Alter Time grants 1800 Haste, Crit and Mastery. Will lessen the issues with stat capping, but opens another can of worms.
uhhh i did kinda liked the whole idea of geting "haste" after alter time because time is related is haste or something :P
also i am hoping next expansion 2set is actually built on alter time so its another decent cd for mages

Alter Time is a wonderful CD though?
It extends heroism, potions, trinket procs, Arcane Power/Icy Veins and lets you double your procs
It's not a boring "press button to receive damage" cooldown and requires at least a little forethought
There is very little more I could ask for in a cooldown, this tier bonus is just icing on an already delicious cake

Alter time is an absolutely horrid cooldown. Usually you'll wait for your trinkets to proc before using it, right? But what if they don't proc for at least 20-30 seconds into the fight? Now your other trinket/cloak enchant/jade spirit and prepot are down.
Let's say you just bite the bullet and AT before that one pesky trinket procs. Now it procs during your AT. You lose that trinket proc entirely and now your DPS for the rest of the fight is going to be absolute dog shit.
I hate Alter Time and this 4 piece set.
You raided recently?
Usually you use it on the pull (where all your trinkets are 100% guaranteed to have procced) and then during Bloodlust (When some of them will probably be up) and don't have time for a third
There is no situation in which your trinkets don't proc for 20-30 seconds, that does not happen unless you sit there not casting any spells.
It is literally impossible for your trinkets not to have all procced within 30 seconds of the fight starting if you are doing your normal rotation.
Yes, I do raid.

I've had many many pulls where I don't get a LotC proc using Nether Tempest for quite some time. As fire I'd probably rip my eyeballs out waiting for a proc while using Living Bomb.
Fire is the most reliable spec for proccing LotC, because literally every spell that you cast applies a DoT effect
You should get it within 8 seconds of the pull, not 30
You'll never have the problem as Arcane either because everything will have procced before you get 6 stacks of AB and two stacks of AM
The only one that should have any conceivable issues is Frost because it doesn't have any ramp-up time and can pop Icy Veins immediately, but as long as there is at least 6 seconds of IV remaining you should be fine

I don't know I just feel like any cooldown that requires a bit more thought and expertise than just "Push button, receive haste" is a good thing.
I guess I can understand people wanting a bit of an easier time though :P
It just sucks to know that sometimes your DPS will be at its highest and sometimes it won't simply based off of the way AT works. I can see why you like it, but I just hate the random factor.
