FWIW, Arcane Missiles actually has a higher base DPS than Fireball and Frostbolt while levelling. It's only when you get better gear that it falls behind, since it doesn't scale that well.
Hence, AM is actually quite potent while levelling. And hey, no pushback. :)
I've actually written a
levelling guide for Arcane
, maybe it'll be of help to you.

I'm currently starting a mage and arcane seems interesting to try out. I'm curious though about what spell rotations one would use in the 10-20 lvls before you start putting talents in arcane. And that's probably the big problem I am having at lvl 14, fire seems like good damage with less casts and frost seems like I am casting countless frostbolts (but maybe it gets better after ice shards?).

Usually, you don't have much choice while in your 10-20s. Just keep alternating Frostbolt and Fireballs. I usually use Frostbolt to pull, then keep casting Fireball until they die or reach me. If it's the latter, a Fireblast will usually take care of it.
Also, I recommend getting all 5 points in Imp. AM before using AM. An interrupted AM is a huge waste.

i would recommend going into frost or fire first to get either icy veins or pyroblast. then go deep into the arcane tree and grab AP and SLOW (very useful for soloing mobs). pyroblast is a great opener and AP + icy veins + frostbolt or arcane missile spam makes it very possible to solo an elite.
your frost build seems to be on the right track.
