Now the problem I'm having is regarding my mage's spec. I could spec Deep Fire and boost my lock's DPS, which seems logical... But me not enjoying Fire AT ALL (no, not even to look at) I've been looking into Arcane spec's!

Arcane fire: Eg, PoM pyro, big burst, and boosting my teams DPS.
Arcane Frost: DPS feels more stable with it, survival increase, loads of CC.

Any thoughts? Or should I just get them to 70, try some instances and figure out what works best?
I went with Frost for all 3 of my mages at the beginning and it was fine... until I ran into some mobs in some early instance that had a high resilient to frost. Luckily I had fireball or scorch already keyed in. I decided to respec and was going to have 1 Frost, 1 Fire and 1 Arcane, but decided to go with 3x Deep Fire.

I made a thread in the Mage's forums and asked which spec is best for 5-man, and the majority said deep fire for the DPS. Basically, in a 5-man, Mages are DPS and Sheeping.

Try the spec that you want, you can always change it later. :thumbsup:
