So yeah, frost is old hat for max dps now. Go arcane, use the rotation Arcane Blast, arcane blast, arcane blast, arcane missiles, arcane barrage (I use a sequence so if one mage procs missile barrage that mage keeps going on the sequence, so after a while they are all out of sync) I have also done it manually, which can increase dps, but if you arent careful, will run you OOM. I use mana gems every cooldown, and use evocate as often as I can. Arcane mage max dps is all about dumping your mana. With all the buffs your team has, you should last long enough to down the boss with relative ease.
Thanks ... i specced one of my mages exactly like yours, and my dps went down by 400 - to about 1600. Here's my dps macro:

#show Arcane Blast
/use 13
/use 14
/castsequence reset=target [target=teamwesome-target,exists,harm,nodead][target=party1-target,exists,harm,nodead] Arcane Blast, Arcane Blast, Arcane Blast, Arcane Missiles, Arcane Barrage

I also noticed that Arcane Missiles is being interrupted by Arcane Barrage. Am I doing this right?
