I see 1 page with 3 posts, one of which has stat weights.
Which is about the best you're going to get from here, but I'm willing to bet its going to be Haste like last patch and mastery will probably get you more mileage than crit. Just get as much as you can.
And its 17% hit for raiding, which is a little more than 1700 hit, its like 105 rating per 1% i think.
Spellpower is always more is better, int even more so now, and haste, because you don't have much going for you besides Arcane Blast, so you have to rack out as many as you can before you move again.

Stat priority should be speccing into fire.

Yeah, unfortunately I have to agree. I played Arcane spec for the most part of WoLK after hiting level 80 (leveled as a Frost Mage). I played a little FFB and some Torment Spec (FB + Torment of the Weak), but Arcane was the spec I liked the most, and did a lot of damage with it.
However, in Cataclysm Arcane spec is still not on par with the other specs. In a post around the end of Dece 2010, Ghostcrawler himself admited that Mage damage was low overall, and that Arcane, Marksman, and Beastmaster DPS were the lowest of all the classes/specs at that moment. (

So, you have to go either Fire or Frost, at least right now. And Blizzard is not gonna buff Arcane on the next patch, so you'll probably not going to play Arcane for a while.
I decided to go Fire, and I'm loving every minute of it!

I was arcane, I made my Off spec fire to check it out, needless to say my off spec is now my main spec ;} And just like my captcha "agoings relief" Going fire will bring you relief =]
