No.
Why are you only using 1 AB stack? And take slow out.

/castsequence reset=5, target Arcane Blast, Slow, Arcane Blast, Arcane Missiles
That should be close.
But there's only 4 buttons you'll use regularly, why not use 1,2,3,4 ?

Why would you like to Slow a raid boss? Tanks will have slowing effects up

They still work, but if you're wanna use castsequence Macros, why bother playing Arcane?
The draw of Arcane (IMHO), is that it's dynamic, and that you need to change your rotation based on your situation. If you wanna use castsequence, why not just go with FB or FFB?

@FroDoh - Arcane Barrage is not the best for an arcane rotation. Arcane Missiles is more dps especially with the Missile Barrage proc that will be often.
If you don't use Arcane Barrage afther the third Arcane Blast when Missile Barrage hasn't proc'ed, you'll find yourself oom in about 15 seconds. Hell, I'm even having trouble keeping my mana up with the standard rotation.
Just do Arcane Blast x3, and Arcane Barrage or Arcane Missiles if Missile Barrage proc'ed. Repeat. Try to use Mana Gems and Evocation as soon as they are useful (when you lose 3k mana pop Mana Gem and use Evo when you hit 35%) so they'll be up sooner. I'd recommend getting and addon such as Power Auras to track the proc.
PD: don't use Slow on pve. Ever.

i recently found out that if you use arcane missiles after 3x arcane blast (regardless of missile barrage procs) you'll save yourself a bit of mana in the long run. you'll also drop your DPS a bit.. both numbers are relatively small, but it's just a thought... part of the challenge of playing arcane is your mana conservation. just like part of the challenge of fire/ttw is your threat conservation.

Arcane Barrage is very useful though, on those fights where you have to move from something or go somewhere, or when you're thorwn in the air. Having a second a half to run is not to be joked about. Also, once you master when to use Evocation and Mana Gems, and learn to avoid doing 4x Arcane Blasts (assuming you have decent gear) mana isn't such a big issue anymore. And, worst case scenario, beg for Innervate :p
