It's a arcane talent called presence of mind.

pom pyro is a very very very fun spec (especially in bgs) but it is absolutely terrible when your fighting opponents with resiliance which is why it is terrible for arenas. most pom pyro mages have anywhere from 20%-35% crit with resiliance itll bring you down about 10% chance to crit and your crits will be lowered by 20% at 400 resil. besides after you blow your ap pyro youll be ffed and killed so fast your healer wont even be able to flash heal you because you dont have ice block. truly id love to see the fire tree get another defense talent aside from blazing speed because frost is boring the hell out of me even if it is the best arena spec.

I much prefer PoM Frostbolt on a frozen target (Frost spec) or the fun old PoM-Poly ;)

i got a PoM pyro macro :D
/cast presence of mind
/cast pyroblast
but you have to click it twice :(
You can't put a stopcasting macro in between there and you can cast it in one click
/cast presence of mind
/stopcasting
/cast pyroblast
You can't move while doing that though.

(disclaimer: I've been a frost mage, a full specced fire mage, now I'm a arcane/fire mage)
Admittedly most of my play time is PvE or Raiding, and I don't PVP much these days. POM-Pyro is -RARELY- an opener for me unless I'm facing down another clothie, or a "leaping about like a counterstrike kiddie" in the BGs. (as if mage spells care how much you hop, you just die in the sky.)
Personally, a rather fun combo for me in PVP , is Sheep, arcane energy/trinkets, then PoM. Depending on if they have the "removes sheep" pvp trinket, I'll blow the PoM on sheep again. Then, no matter what, follow up with Pyroblast. Then follow up with a fireblast, and melt a face.
I've had people make a cross faction toon just to curse me out in a /tell for that one.
(What I need, is a bloody anti-fear thing. Nine out of ten of my "LOL Mage Dead Again" deaths in PVP is because I got gnawed on by a Warlock who kept fearing me and just having his way with me while I have no choice but to run around like a little girl. You know... give me something that will let me 10 second fear someone twice...Because, if I had twenty seconds and I couldn't nuke any class on the street, I'd better hang up my mage hat.)
Normally, I'm a scorch spamming mofo, with the "scorch" damage stacking debuff, swapping out to fireblast when its CD lapses. I'll throw a PoMPyro when the scorch is built up -OR- if I have Clearcast active. (With the Arcane talent points that boost crit off Clearcast.)
(I use scorch over fireball in PVP, mainly because there is no fire trail that points out like a flare "Mage Over Here")
In PvE/Raiding? I love my build. I am a damage firehose. 12k fireball crits off Curator are easy. Most crits are +5k.
But yes. A -lot- of my heaviest damage is due to longer cooldown things.
(edit: I suck at the English today.)
