Arcane is only for level 80s. Don't try this before you get to level 80 and has some decent gear (such as Naxx 10).
The reason for that is:
Level as Frost. Always. The combination of defense, offense and mana usage from Frost is unbeatable.
Until you can have Arcane Barrage, MIssile Barrage (5 points), Netherwind Presence and Spellpower talents, Arcane sucks.
Arcane needs a decent amount of haste and a large mana pool. You won't have that too soon.
Arcane can be very useful for PvP and PvE (except Ulduar fights), but you need to be well geared for it. If your Arcane Blast's cast time is over 2.15 sec, it sucks. Remember, arcane has no DoTs, which means that your damage will come
ONLY
for the damage your make from direct hit spells. So, you need to be casting pretty fast to be hitting pretty fast.

arcane works just fine in ulduar fights. :) at least, as far as hodir it has worked just fine for me. but also, with BoK, MOTW, and AI, i have 23k mana...

Maybe it does work, but other specs could do much better. Check the links below. They were taken from a very trustworthy source. They represent the top players in the world, they specs and which fight in Ulduare 25 they were in. You'll see that Arcane is nowhere near other specs.
