Question on Gems and Spec

When gems come to mind, which stats are usually the best to stack? Just pure spell damage? or spell damage and crit? or spell haste?

is what i have currently, i'm hit capped so I don't need any hit gems. If I could get some advice on which gems would suit my gear/ raiding level I would be so inclined to give a big /hug. I also have a question on speccing. I currently am frost and I love frost, but when I read Caribou's Mage guide I became confused on which spec gave out the most dps. I'm guessing the excellent and the very good difference between frost and fire is the difference, but that is rather too vague for me to make a concrete decision. Also, are the arcane specs worth trying? I was told that arcane fire is the best raid spec overall, but I seriously doubt that from what i've read in the mage guide.

Have a look through that at the builds, then decide on the one that you want to play the most. Take into account your gear level.
2/45/11 + 3 and 10/45/3 + 3 are considered the best generic builds for raiding. When you get 2 piece tier 5, this top tier of damaging builds changes to include Arcane-heavy builds, as the tier 2 bonus is sexy.
However, even more generically, how you play plays more into how much DPS you're doing. Popping stones and pots at every CD, timing your spells exactly right, and not getting hit are more important than what build you are as a Mage. If you like being frost, stay frost.
