Take points from somewhere and put it into
. That's 4% spell damage you're missing out on. Don't really need
as tanks apply a slow on their own which counts for
TtW
, or you can take it out of
as it doesn't refund all that much mana from AB.
During my Burn phase I disregard the typical 30% rule and opt for OOM, then evocate. Once evocated I use a fire ball to proc my missiles until I am at 100% or close to mana. Then I use AB’s to about 3 unless clearcasting allows me to cast more, then I cast missiles etc… This keeps my mana about 80% or more the entire conserve phase. Am I going under that 30% and waiting for missiles and flame orb killing my dps?
Yes that is killing some of your DPS., don't disregard that. The more mana we have the more damage we do. Waiting until almost oom and then using Evocate loses out on some of the DPS. Also don't use FB, that is for Fire. Use either an ABr or have Flame Orb up to restore some mana from
MoE
. Don't forget to AB spam a few then use your Mana Gem to get back to 100% as well as give a SP boost.
Other then that your gear looks fine. You only need 13% for a 1 sec AB cast time after TW/BL/Heroism/AH. Mastery is great for Arcane as long as you keep near full mana. Haste just makes cast times lower when not affected by a haste buff. Crit doesn't do as much, but it is valued a little over haste after the cap and I havent found a reason why.*

During my Burn phase I disregard the typical 30% rule and opt for OOM, then evocate.
Free standing and not in raid I cover 24%mastery, 16%crit, and 15%haste.
This right here is a glaring problem.
Also, you should have Torment the Weak maxed. I have no clue why you don't.
Problem #3.
You never changed your Prime glyphs
for Arcane from Fire.
There's a reason why we evocate at 30%. It's so we're at 100%, or damn near it, when we finish.
You opt for a Mastery heavy build, but then you completely ignore its strengths.
Mastery improves your damage as you have more of your mana bar filled.
By selecting to go oom and be low on mana, you never get the full boost from having that much mastery stacked up.

hit to cap > haste to 13% > mastery > haste > crit.
At around post
216
, there is math shown that with:
3/3 Netherwind Presence
5% raid haste
30% haste Warp
1768 haste rating is required to make Arcane Blast at 4 stack be a 1 second cast time.
As a side note, EJ seems to be leaning toward Simc not Rawr now.
As for the priority, the point is that Haste after the cap is still stronger than crit, for pieces when you can't reforge to mastery, ie
Globe of Moonlight
or
Spirit Fragment Band
.

Looking at your armory, you need more haste again. Your hit is borderline so thats up to u. Most ppl will say being a lil over hit is better that being .03 under. Thats such a fine line there though its ridiculous.
Honestly man u know what your caps should look like by now. It would probably be easiest to go to
www.askmrrobot.com
. You need the latest Internet Explorer to use it though just an fyi. But load your character and hit your optimize button. It will give you a fairly decent load out for your gear to start you off.
I used it and it gave me a large dps boost. If you can't figure out how to use the presets though, once your done with its recommendations you'll just have to go back and and reforge for one stat. I think it was haste when i did it. It confused me at first but once i got it I couldn't be happier.
Side note. I may be wrong on the haste thing because in game it shows my haste @ 13.? but the armory is showing 10.83. Don't know why. But anyways just remember to have haste @ atleast 13% and hit to about 17

Armory doesn't count haste talents.
