Are they gonna screw Fire more?

Just to make it clear if someone missed it, the nerf you saw 25%-10% has already happen on live realms it was that quick hotfix they had. They are just wording it out when they added it to the Beta build. So they aren't nerfing fire "more" since they only did it one time before you even posted probably :P

Screwing fires is bad for you, I know from experience ):

It's a blanket nerf to a blanket buff. I fail to see the problem.

hahaha you are so right.

It's neccesary to nerf it.

No, it's not necessary to nerf anymore, and they're not.

I've run 5 seperate 5+ minute parses on dummies. All of them are +/- 3% DPS span of what I was doing on dummies before they posted the 25-10% specialization information. Thus it's easy to speculate the post was just speculation and the information was clearly clarification, not a further nerf.

they might nerf it. who knows they're blizzard

Fire's been superior to Arcane in ICC as soon as you're full 264 or better, perhaps you should learn more about your class before complaining, let alone speaking on temporary balancing issues that will be reverted or less harsh in Cataclysm at 85.

And as for your "20k" statement, I've seen a fire mage prior to the nerf this week open up on the LK at 35k dps, and that's with waiting a good 10-15 seconds to be sure that he didn't pull off the tank once Mirror Image was over.

Most probably because it's a cleave fight. With an impact proc he could spread a huge ignite, living bomb, frostfire and massive combustion dot to all the adds.
