Anyone At Higher Levels Running Deep Arcane On Mages?

[Groene]

Im running with a Paladin tank and 2 mages and I specced my mages 31/17/3 with improved flamestrike. Arcane Power and PoM give me the posibility to do big and risky pulls often and also let me deal with certain bosses that need to be bursted down, read aggro reset bosses that you cant taunt as paladin .

Going in fire I realy like the dps of flamestrike, while casting it it gives my paladins consecration a couple more seconds to build threat. And with going in fire and getting the Reduced threat talent so far I havnt lost aggro to the mages yet on any pull. And I prefer to just aoe all down instead of putting sheeps out.

Also arcane power cd is only 3min so can do a big pull more often than the 5min.

Very good point on being able to better handle the lack of taunt better with Arcane Power and PoM. Seems like fire may very well compliment Arcane better with my playstyle than Frost would. After reading this I'm definitely leaning that way. I'm reluctant to abandon the snares that come with Frost, but with proper play my Paladin should have plenty of threat and the slow effects won't be a big deal (perhaps even wasted points since I'm not kiting at all).

yea I am deep arcane on all my mages. Seems like the logical thing to do if you are not trying to blizzard grind and you are just doing AE spam. I can use the arcane power every other pull and stuff just dies quicker its definitely noticeable.
