Until you hit 85 just frost bolt and arcane blast, if he's at low HP and you don't feel like casting another use barrage. Once you get the thing where slow happens on arcane blast. just spam it.

It's leveling, there is no "specific" spec because
IT'S LEVELING
.
Pick whatever spec you think is more fun.

Actually, I am getting sick and tired of reading "tell me how to play" posts on these forums.
Maybe if you actually knew anything about this game you'd realize that leveling spec is completely and utterly irrelevant. You can get by as any class by any spec while leveling. Hell, I could tank most dungeons until lvl 80 as a mage if I had a non-retard healer.
There isn't information you want here because the information you want is basic BS.
Give me a break.

.... *cry* now i understand why there is so little info on these forums. If i was just looking for "play what is fun" i wouldn't have bothered to post. "play what is fun" could be the worst answer to any forum post on any subject.
"Play what is fun" it actually one of the bests answers around. If you don't find something fun, what are the chances that you will stick to it?
For leveling just pick talents that either increase the amount of damage that you do, help you survive more (questing more so then doing dungeons), or let you use damaging abilities more often. Blizzard made picking talents so much easier, meaning less thought being put into what is needed.
Being in full BoA gear makes leveling a hell of a lot easier. You could the entirely wrong talents and still get by.

Just 'cause levelling is easy, doesn't mean you can't optimize for it.
This is what I'd aim for at level 40:

Taking the
extra haste
instead of a
silence
doesn't do much for you outside of boss fights, and if you're using heirlooms those 4 seconds is pretty much the length of a fight.
Always be counterspelling anything mobs cast at you - it's good practice, and that gives you a nice
damage boost
. Take the
improved missiles
talent first at this tier though.
This
is useless 'til you get slow, and that doesn't come 'til much later.
Similarly, avoid
prismatic cloak
. You shouldn't be getting hit, and invisibility is many levels away.

It is amazing seeing the number of 'tell me how to play' posts when there is so much information out there. Google 'wow arcane mage spec', and amazingly the answers are right before your eyes. Sure, those are mostly specs for level 85 characters, but learn to think for yourself and grab the best perks for your level. Spoon feeding you every little answer will not help you play your class any better. Don't expect everyone to just tell you, pick this at 35, and this at 37, and so on. Someone before you had to figure it out on their own, so you should too.
