Oh, haven't checked this for a few days ^^ arcane has been working great, if I ever have mana problems during long fights I deal with them easily. Thanks again for all the tips.
I have another question though. I just made me a
Merlin's Robe and after getting another trophy of the crusade on Wednesday I will have the 4 set bonus from the ilvl245 tier. That leaves me short on hit rating (I currently have 330, and I still have t8.5 gloves and legs, so it will be ~210). Could anyone tell me, what's the required hit for arcane? 11% from gear and the rest from talents? A mage in my servers top guild only has 7.80% hit rating, so that makes me wonder if I really need 11? If thats the case, I'm currently using a crit and haste trinket - I'm guessing I'd have to drop the crit trinket for Dying Curse?
Thanks a lot :)

This is my spec.
IA +
FW is absolutely a very powerfull combination.
Also IA is OP for Twins..
(p.s. both
fire/
frost ward minor glyphs are of some use with this build)
Cause the aura u pick up ABSORBS the damage from the opposite color. Basicly 100% IA uptime.
Pick up some orbs and ur DPS/Damage will sky rocket.
I always played with AI and Warding every 30sec is good.
Fights i use me wards or have uses for IA are:
VoA = Kolaron
Onyxia: Fireballs has an AoE splash / big adds Fire AoE / Breath (no worry's with Ward up stand under her so u only take 1 tick and survive with more than enough health) PuG'z might say "u fail standing in breath" but showing damage taken of recount could shut them up.
ToC 10/25
Gormok / Worms / Icehowl / Jaxx / Fire Champions depends on Setup / Twins = Absorbs due to Aura
Uld = on top on FL / Razor / Ignins / Mirmiron / Thorim Hard / Hodir / various trash pulls.
Naxx = Sapp + KT
Not only i get SP also get some mana back from using me wards.
I can really recommend to use IA Talent.

Hit rating, do u have a SPriest or Boomkin in raid setup ?
I have 9.7% hit with a Hit Ring i need to use if our Boomkin isnt raiding.
8.x% with boomkin around.
Both give 3% hitrating raid wide for casters, make sure u have 8% atleast with a boomkin and some hit gear for times u raid with out.
10 man toc drops nice hit gear Jaxx has 2 items bracers + ring.
Also i raid with 2 draenei's, one in each group as were a 10 man only guild.

Thanks for your response :) I heard that IA is a very good talent and I'm planning to include at least 2/3 in my specc. Do you have any pushback problems without Arcane Stability?
Hit has become a huge problem... We often have a sp or a boomkin, but some raids we don't (even in 25 man...). I have 210 hit rating, which is 8%, plus 6% from talents. I'm worried that I might miss a lot. Should I replace my crit trinket with
Dying Curse?

Short Answer? Yes
Long Answer? Yeeeeeessss. :)
Always get your hit up before worrying about other stats.
