Arcane Mage Macro Help

[daviddoran]

I haven't had too hard a time of maximizing DPS with hot streak procs, I just used Proculas, set it up to alert in party chat that it proceed, and i have a key to send it (its got /stopcasting so i dont have to wait for it) When it procs a few times, my mage is right up there with my locks, when it doesn't the dps is fair, not quite as good as in arcane spec. BUT for me, since it boosts my groups overall DPS to have scorch, Im going to stay that way.

I think the biggest DPS boost is getting away from a regular castsequence and using /click, I've experienced noticeable lag with sequences, and when i manually do a rotation, its seamless chain casting. /click achieves the same seamless casting because the last spell in the chain is always a straight /cast spell. I can't wait for 3.2.2 for arcane, easier rotation, better mana use, greater chance to proc missile barrage, more chances to proc it, etc. Also, I've become a big fan of popping trinkets and all cooldowns on every pull. I used to save em for boss fights, but its too much of a hassle to cast it, and I often forget anyway.

Edit: I should also note that I got a trinket in a random pug that only procs off of DoT ticks, so it never procced once as arcane, but procs all the time as fire, and on most tests I did contributed 10% to my overall damage done. (thats why I picked that particular mage for fire, others have better trinkets for arcane)
