Arcane does indeed require the most with the complex rotations.
Frost... you spam Frostbolt. Thats the easiest...
Fire... Scorch + Fireball. Not much harder, but, keeps you paying attention so that your Scorch debuff doesn't die. Whether or not staring at the debuff icon is bad rather than where you're standing (ouch at Council experience) is up to you to decide...
So, kind of.
Post-WotLK:
Frost will be the hardest in the expansion. Winter's Grasp gives you 5 seconds of Shatter on raid-bosses. 3 Frostbolts? (would require tiny amount of haste: remember, spelldamage and effects like shatter are calculated upon casting. 2.4s(including latency)+2.4s=4.8s, and if you're hitting the Frostbolt button over and over again you'll start casting a third before it goes.
Or, you can do Frostbolt->Icelance->Icelance->Frostbolt.
Arcane will have another spell to its rotation, but, its rotations are usually solid. Do this this many times, this that many times, repeat... the Frost 'rotation' will require fast acting, Winter's Grasp pops up and you have to squeeze in those spells, release your elemental and etc.
Elementalist will be a mix of the current Fire and Frost situation (well, it makes sense, given, you know...). You won't have any of the luxuries of either tree, but, all the hard, powerful baseline talents like the 100% Critical bonus in frost and the ignite and scorch of fire will make it play and operate as an almost literal hybrid.
Frost will be the new arcane, arcane will be played by those few insisting that they need to stay lowlowlow on threat and Frostfire will reign DPS.
What about fire?
Have you seen the tree? There is no reason to spec deep-fire for raiding.

XilDarkz, your infos slightly out of date. You might wanna check the latest builds. :)

Indeed.
Fire is the easiest spec to play.
This is of course completely subjective. I don't PvP so I won't comment on PvP play. I have never played a "deep" arcane spec but who knows what the future may hold.
I have played fire and frost extensively ( including deep and arcane hybrids of each). This includes leveling as fire and frost and raiding with fire and frost. Neither is easier nor harder, but they play very differently and require a completely different thought process and play style.
In any event what's easy for you may be hard for me and vis versa.

Wow. You're like a fire version of Oscar.
Except Oscar understands what grammar is.
