Yo,I was in Oculus today,some other mage looked at my build and said,that it's outdated (I have Frostfire) and Fire does better DPS,but I don't know which I should choose,Fire/Arcane,or Fire/frost? I thought that with Frostfire Bolt I can do best dps,not fireball,I'm confused,can anyone help me? :(

fire technically does more dps, but it also requires a much higher hit rating..
read thru the stickies, specifically the "Best builds" thread for a bunch more detailed information.

Okay,so I will stick still with Frostfire Spec,I have 0 hit rating cuz I dinged 80 yesterday and Didn't get so good gear (have some pvp one),and NO,I don't want Arcane,that spec isn't just for me,I like more Frostfire than Arcane,and when I reach hit cap,Ill try that Fire one and choose :)

I lvled my mage from 10-75 as fire then respec'ed ffb cause i was curious. I finished out my last 5 lvl as ffb and fell in love with it. I have decent single target dps for when I'm doing heroics or raids as well as good aoe damage for grinding out mats and dailies.
I say stick with the spec you like and don't worry about what others say you should be.

I think they're referring to 3/3 Ice Shards and Piercing Ice for higher Blizzard damage in regards to AoE. I'm happy already with Tab+Living Bomb spam though; I can honestly say that I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything when I blizzard once and spend the rest of my aoe rotation applying LB.

Yes, but wouldn't Frost AOE be higher still, since they have access to more Frost damage multipliers, as well as Shatter/Fingers of Frost?
Also, as FFB, you'd need a lot of crit for it to be effective, which is not something you'd have a lot of as a fresh 80. So I question his assertion of it being the best starter spec.
