- your friends will have to learn a new spec, new rotaion, new tricks
- your friends will have to regem and reenchant, because MS is not that good stat for arcane (not that bad either, middle of the pack you may say)
- the above reason also imply that they will have to change gear to one with mastery and that's unlikely
All the above reasons need time and i know people dont like wasting time, especialy when what they are doing is working.
Also another reason - my guild is progressing on Butcher mythic and we are 3 mages in the raid core - 2 arcane and 1 frost, equally geared . We are always top dpsers on that fight and the frost mage is on pair with us the arcane mage with no problem. So from my expirience with frost mages i can say - just leave them alone for the moment.
When BRF open the gear that drop there have a nice gear for arcane and then arcane might become the better choice for Highmaul Mythic fights
