Mages are balanced around getting an average of 10-12% +dmg from the lvl 90 talents. If you're only getting +6% from IW on trash, you're not going to do as much dps as another class.
If anything, RoP is the most viable since it will only cost you 1.5s of DPS time, which you could probably squeeze in before pulls.
Having switched to playing my lock over my mage, it's kind of hilarious to look at the hoops they expect mages to jump through. I'll take my improved Ice Flows talent for warlock lvl90 over this mage bullsh**, tyvm.
