That.

The dps will probably even out on a boss.

I saw exactly the same happening in my group. destro lock did crap dps, then came the ele sham who would do some pretty good dps and then the arcane mage topping charts anytime. At the lower levels the downside of arcane, being that it should cost a lot of mana, get's neglected pretty much, since bosses die quite fast. Once 85 you'll see your arcanemage's dps drop significantly on bosses.
