Fire
18Arcane / 58fire (rotation)
58fire/ 18frost(Improved Frostfire)
Choose either one of these specification, or duel wielding specification. These are best for PVE so far and good for heroics.

As far as spec goes, I would personally lose the points in SotM, put the 2nd point into Arcane Subtlety (trust me you need as much threat reduction as possible lol), and pick up Magic Attunement for extra range. The buff it provides to Amplify Magic is useful too, as you should be putting this on the tanks on Patchwerk.
For your gear, get your Kirin Tor rep up first, as you can get a good Sword, head enchant, and robe all from the same faction. Get the Heroism Emblem offhand to compliment the sword, as well as the Emblem belt with an Eternal Belt Buckle. For gems, you want to find gear with as many red and yellow gems as possible. Red gems are strictly Runed Scarlet Ruby. For the yellow gems, get the +hit gems until you can get capped, then re-gem to the +intellect ones until you can maintain over 20k mana self-buffed, then start switching to +haste gems. For a meta-gem, get Ember Skyflare Diamond.
Lastly, enchants. In addition to the aforementioned head enchant from the Kirin Tor, you need the tailoring enchant (which you already have), Lightweave Embroidery (you need one more point in tailoring to learn it), and every spellpower enchant you can find and afford.
I hope this has helped. If any of this is confusing or you want/need more advice, I'll be happy to oblige.

i just did 2133 dps on 25-man uludar for the first boss. how is that for my stats?
also, on CoT timed i did only 1500-1700 dps. is this way low? seems like it should be somewhat higher.
i got new peices so here is my updated stats
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Thrall&n=Barefootdan
should i switch to FFB?
any sugestions?
also, my rotation is ABx3 then AM and MB
is that a waste to do the MB at the end?
thanks.
not to sound mean or anything.. but if you're pulling 2133 dps anywhere in 25 man ulduar.. you need help. that's way too low to be running ulduar.. you should be running naxx 10 or maybe 25... not ulduar. (just curious.. which boss did you pull that dps on? cause flame leviathan doesn't count)
actually.... looking at your gear.. you need to be running heroics.. Your spell power is a joke, and your hit rating is almost nonexistant. whoever's idea it was for you to be going into a 25m ulduar with your gear must not have looked very hard.
either way. you need to take a long look at
this link
and replace every single piece of gear you have.. i mean it..
literally every one
before you set foot in a raid again. Your hit rating should be 12% when you mouse over it (you have 3.6%).. for the time being, stay arcane.. it's the most forgiving with lower end gear and still performs rather well with top end gear.

I agree with ach and cmu, you need to stay in heroics for the time being for drops. Here are the stats to look for before you start raiding:
Spellpower: 1600+
Mana: 19k+
Hit: 283 is cap for arcane (but as above poster stated you can get away with less if you have a boomkin and/or S priest in the group).
Haste: 300+; Haste is to arcane what crit is to FFB. After you get your hit up this is your 3rd most important stat behind SP and Intell.
I noticed you are revered with the Kirin Tor so go ahead and get the sword and head enchant, as well as the Heroism Offhand (Ward of the Violet Citadel I believe). Run OS and Vault to get Tier 7/7.5 piece drops. You want to get the 2-piece bonus as soon as you can as it gives a SP buff every time you use a Mana Gem.
There is a wonderful macro that I swear by and I highly recommend any arcane mage to use:
#showtooltip Arcane Power
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()
/cast Icy Veins
/cast Arcane Power
/cast Arcane Blast
WIth this you can pop AP and IV at the same time, as well as any trinkets you have that have a "Use" function on them (add the line "/use 12" for your top trinket and "/use 13" for your bottom trinket. The AB line is purely optional, I just like to have it in there since 9/10 of the time that's the first spell I cast after I use the macro anyway.
Speaking of trinkets, the ones to look for are Sundial of the Exiled (Heroism Badge piece) and Mark of the War Prisoner (this one gives you a LOT of hit rating and drops from final boss in H VH).
Here is a link to my armory in case you want to know what to shoot for.

I usually do around 4.5k avg DPS throughout a 25 Naxx run.
Edited: Added some info

isn't it /use 13 and /use 14 for trinkets?
