With ABarr already being an instant cast, it really isn't necessary . . .
And besides, when AM procs, it discharges twice as fast anyway. You really don't need to stand still for long.
And finally, Frost has always been the ruler in PvP. While your suggestions might make Arcane more "bursty", it won't allow any more damage mitigation, CC, or single-target frustration.

Meh, they have plenty dps.
Arcane has a little utility in place for it.
Increasing SP with Incanter's Absorption
Imp. Counterspell
Missle barrage
Presence of Mind
Not to mention they have the enormous potential for on demand burst.
It wouldn't affect casters, but against melee it'd get annoying that 70% of their spells are instant and they have Slow
no i'm pretty sure othet casters would be annoyed too, since slow affects cast time as well.
besides.. incanter's absorption is a ridiculous talent anyway. the only way to make any real use of it would be to go deep enough into arcane for incanter's absorption, and go deep enough into frost for ice barrier, but that would make for a seriously screwy build. You can't get deep freeze or the water ele from frost, you can't get arcane barrage or missile barrage from arcane.. if you're deep arcane, you're going to be using mana shield and with that you can only absorb... 1330 (had to look).. that makes incanter's absorption proc for 199.5 SP for 10s. while that may sound like a lot, (and in actuality, it really is) 10 seconds is only really enough time to get off a couple spells. Provided everything's off CD when it procs, you could fire ABarr, FB, CoC, ABarr again.. And the likelihood fo ALL of those being off CD when you get your incanter's absorption is slim because if you see him, you're going to be attacking.
all in all, for pvp, there's much better places to put those 3 points.

Since the Arcane tree feels more like a insta-bursty class, what if there was a talent that allowed 10% chance to proc Mobile Arcane Missiles for 2.5 seconds. That is, you can channel arcane missiles instantly as you move. Would help with DPS a lot in PVP I think. Imagine this and Arcane Barrage together, would be sweet :D
Thoughts?
That would actually make Arcane overpowered actually. For both PVP and PVE.

Arcane Missiles is pretty fine the way it is, actually. Issues with Arcane are scaling and mana management (for PVE) and more control/survivability (for PVP)
