I just got my mage to 30+ and remembered i could duel spec so at the moment i'm frost because it gives more survivalibility in pvp which i liked but i don't think it does as much dps as arcane or fire in dungeons. I've forum crawled a bit trying to find some information but the stickies are outdated for the most part or doesn't answer my question and the other topics i have found, say fire is too proc dependent but its better for most scenarios. My issue is though that on my main all the mages i've found are arcane and brag about their "two-button rotation" and critting for 140k with arcane blast. Which sounds AMAZING but too good to be true.
So would do y'all recommend?
PS. I have all the heirlooms/enchants for my mage, if that effects the choice.

While leveling they all work out to be pretty much the same. DPS while leveling will always be different as some classes get their better abilities at lower levels and others have to wait until higher up.
I would just stick to frost for now for when doing PvP, dungeons or questing. You can try your hand at the other specs if you like but know that they will change at the level cap.
Some have done that much with AB, I did 160k in ICC right after the shattering happened and Blizz changed all the stats and that around. Arcane has 4 main spells:
Arcane Charge
,
Arcane Barrage
,
Arcane Missiles
for single targets and
Arcane Explosion
for AoE. They also have several cooldowns to use, but while leveling you hardly run out of mana.
