you don't need to bump after 3 minutes..
first, change your meta to
this.
secondly, you're gemmed for haste far too much.. yes, haste is important for arcane spec, but all of those yellow gems should either be
these to activate the meta I just gave you, or
these for pure spell power. Forget the socket bonuses, they're not that big a deal. And you're over hit capped, so you can DEFINITLY ignore the socket bonus from your belt.
Third, enchant your shoulders and get your tailoring up to put lightweave on your cloak.
Fourth, out of three glyphs, you've got one right. The other two should be glyph of molten armor and glyph of arcane missiles. Glyph of evocation is purely a pvp glyph, you shoudln't worry about your health... that's what healers are for. Mana gem is kinda debatable, but your dps will go up strongly with the glyph two glyphs i mentioned.
Fifth, personally, I prefer taking 3/3 student of the mind instead of 2/3 incanter's absorption and 2/2 magic attunement.. One point in magic attunement is plenty, i've found, and the spirit will help your mana overall as well as your crit.
Next thing.. what rotation are you using? It SHOULD be ABlast x3 > Arcane missiles. If you're using anything other than that, you're gimping yourself.
also, make sure you're blowing your cooldowns at the right time (i.e. when bloodlust is popped is always best or during any "vulnerability" phase).
With all that having been said, when you say you're "not doing well"... what is your dps looking like?
