Pve Arcane Mage

I've been seeing how mages dps drop as guilds progress and keep hearing about a godly deep arcane spec? Discuss.

10/48/3 = more DPS.

46/15/0 = more DPM.

Main con to AM/AB spec is that it is much, much more mana costly and in longer fights it isn't as good. It is effective at times and a couple mages in my guild have thrown on all their spell haste gear and then specced it for fun, but really they get out DPSed by Fire mages on everything except for trash, where they just AB spam to max out your damage quickly - also if you ever arena with one, you'll see that's what they'll do: AB Spam and then PoM Pyro right as you get low, and keep CC on healers.

Fact is that in fights where you have to move - which, let's face it is most of them - AM/AB doesn't have the fluidity of fire.
