What do u use as rotation would be a start in helping u out Rotation Wise, it aint that hard 4xAB > AM / MBarr or even ABarrage after *the last AM missle* it is up to u.
Gear wise, ur low on Haste.
Spec wise, lose the piercing ice + 1 point out ice shards. these talents wont help u on bosses.
Lose Student of the Mind get Arcane Meditation as u want more Mana regen during fights.
Drop slow as this only helps during daily's.
U Now have 4 points to place:
get more in stability if u like or fill out incineration for more AB crit.
If u like more range get magic attunement its all up to u. As long as it benefits arcane spell.
More survivability get magic absorbstion which also give some mana back it aint much but on fights where fire/frost aura's are used u get something back most of the times.
See u use incanter's absorption, make sure u use fire/frost wards with it unless ur stuck raiding Naxx or doing heroics. If thats the case u could lose the talent to.
*editted in for clarification on using Abarr after AM last missle

Currently, the standard Arcane rotation is thus.
Arcane Blast x4
IF M.Barr procs --> Arcane Missles
IF NOT continue A.Blast until it does
Repeat
Looking at your talent build, I see several MINOR problems. Firstly, the only real important talents in the Frost tree are Icy Vains and Precision, the rest are just filler. As such, max those out, and fill in ONLY enough to get to them; extras go back into the Arcane Tree. Also, a lot of people consider Incineration, in the Fire Tree, important to an Arcane Build. As far as the Arcane Tree, I see a lot of misappropriation...I recommend clicking on the link to my mage below, in my sig, since I have a cookie-cutter Arcane build on him, have lesser gear, and usually hit over 3k dps.
As far as gear goes, you do have a lot of really decent gear, so I can't recommend any improvements there. Just keep in mind, the Arcane hit-cap is 11% (assuming you grabbed precision and arcane focus) (you are pretty good there, anyway). Also, the standard rule for stat weighting is Hit>SP>Haste>Crit>Int>Spirit as far as arcane goes. However, contrary to this rule, I usually find myself gemming for Crit/SP over anything else, primarily because I like big numbers, and the haste gems don't offer nearly as much improvement as the aforementioned.

Arcane is the most boring spec ever invented. Press AB when MB procs get AB stack to 4 and press that.
There is nothing to track, no debuff to get on the boss just stay out of the fires and go pewpew.
Its so much more boring than :
Frostbolt Frostbolt Frostbolt ............ Frostbolt :(
Actually, its remarkably similar to fire/ttw. They both watch a dot/stack, they both look for a proc, and other than that spam one button.

A POM'd AB won't cast while moving. You have to stop to be able to cast it.

Also, depending on your crit and if you have any haste trinks/buffs, it's sometimes better to either spam arcane blast, or use arcane missles if you get the buff before x4.
Situational.
I believe I'm going to have to disagree. MBarr on 4 stack only (unless we're talking trash pulls, then yeah...)
A POM'd AB won't cast while moving. You have to stop to be able to cast it.
i did not know this...can we get a confirmation on that.. o.0
I'll confirm it. The PoM will cast, but not the AB.
