Why are you gemming hit, if you are already over the cap? As an arcane mage you only need 11% hit plus 6% from talents. Gems like hit + spirit make me wonder if you have taken the time to see what stats are important for mages. Get rid of your hit gems. If the socket bonus is decent, gem a spell power+haste or spell power+spirit gem, and by decent I mean +7 or +9 spellpower. Otherwise gem pure spellpower. Dooooon't gem pure spirit...
Keep in mind that your meta needs 2 blue gems to work, so gem sp+spirit, as the previous poster said.
Get rid of all the points in Student of the Mind and put them into Torment the Weak. I'd also remove one point from Arcane Stability and one point from Arcane Mind, and put those two points into Incanter's Absorption. IA is an amazing talent. Get glyph of fire and frost ward and enjoy, use them whenever there is frost or fire damage in the fight and see your dps shine thanks to Incanter's Absorption :P
I don't see anything wrong with your rotation, it's just your gemming + talents/glyph that are wrong. You also need more haste - don't go for hit or crit, go for spellpower and haste when upgrading your gear.
Edit: I also noticed you are missing enchants. Enchant your gloves with spellpower, your chest with +8 or +10 all stats, and farm Sons of Hodir and Kirin Tor reputation for your shoulder and head enchants.

Ur armory shows 0/0/0 spec so hard to tell what to change now ..
This is my spec
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#of0icz0IzxGuGxedMZbhf0o:Nzicz
3/3
IA
works better than 2/3 that Arissa posted. With my raid health i can gain a max of (a bit more than) 1k sp, due this talent and my wards absorb ~4.4k that translate in to 660sp on absorbing fire/frost damage instead of 440sp with 2/3 IA. With 3/3 im not even close to my max of 1k SP.
The 2 points in magic absorption is pure to help out healers on aoe damage that fals outside the ward's. The mana gain is useless due to its low amount it proc's.
U could put these 2 points in acrane stability and 1 point of arcane focus to concentration for 70% pushback reduction.
3rd minor glyph is free to pick, i have slowfall cause its annoying to keep reagents for it ;)

Gearwise, Arissa said enough. Gear for 10% hit atleast since ur Draenei.
Gem's
Red > +23SP
Blue> +12SP / 10SP x2 for meta
Yellow> if socketbonus is 5SP or higher gem +12SP / 10Haste
If not SP related socket bonus gem +23SP in it.

I skipped Magic Absorption completely. This is my specc:

My dps has been doing fine despite having only 2/3 Incanter's Absorption, but of course what DerrHans posted is also an option. Just giving you a little alternative. This specc has been working really fine for me.
