Arcane Mage Macro Help

I have searched and have not found a similar post. I've boxed my mage frost and FFB using proccs. After respeccing Arcane I'm having trouble getting just the right sequence on the fewest key presses.

I want: Arcane Blast x3 then Arcane Barrage OR Arcane Missiles if it proccs.

Right now I have to use three buttons to get what I want. would something like this function properly?:

/use 13
/use 14
/cast PoM
/cast Arcane Power
/cast maybe something else like that but I'm new to arcane and can't remember off the top of my head.
/castsequence Arcane Blast, Arcane Blast, Arcane Blast,
/cast [modifer:alt] Arcane Missiles; [nomodifier] Arcane Barrage

Does the comma after the last Arcane Blast let it pass though to the last line?

Thanks a lot.

Mage DPS Input Requested

Thank you. Yes, I did read those. There is some debate on whether or not using AM proccs is worth it but I don't see handling the Arcane Missiles proccs exactly. (aside from putting a "/stopcasting /cast arcane missiles" on another key and resetting the ArcBLx3, ArcBar macro because the buff will be cleared.)

I guess my question is more of a macro logic question.

Thanks again.

The comma should let it fall through. But it takes 5 secs to paste that in here and 5 secs to paste that in WOW. Why not try it and see what happens? The next part is (I don't know anything about arcane), why just not always assume that the proc happens and you use as castsequence that includes what you want for a proc? Is it really that hurtful? I thought that arcane had a regen talent in it so it doesn't seem like it would be that bad. I don't use procs that I can think of on my alts. My mains have some procs that I like to watch for, but I can't think of any that my alts have that I care about. For my mains, I just put the item on a seperate button and click it. Yeah, click it. I am a proc clicker. It happens about once a minute, it lasts for about 8-10 secs so I have all the time in the world to move my mouse and click it. For a couple (reposte-rogue, overpower-warrior, and maybe another I can't think of), I have them on keys since those chars don't have lots of spells/abilities, they are mostly upgrades rather than new spells/abilities.

Thanks for the input. I will try this when I get home from work. I just thought I would share and that if it was garbage someone could shoot me down. As far as mana goes, I have had some issues going OOM and wanted to make it as efficient as possible.

Thanks again.
