If you've got multiple mobs that you're facing then do what any Arcane mage would do - nuke the holy living crap out of the first one and then cast Invisibility to loose agro.
Click it off, or wait if you need/want to, and then nuke the crap out of the second one, sheep the ranged if necessary/possible. When they get close, Frost Nova to root, nuke the crap out of one and then slow the second and nuke him too.

Hey guys, I've been leveling my mage since 64 as arcane once I got AB, and while I hit a lot more damage, I take a lot more too, and pulling big groups is difficult. What I do with a group of 2 or more, is if there is for example a ranged and a melee, I poly the ranged, slow the melee, then nuke with AB. Once I get Missile Barrage I use that on the ranged, with a quick Arcane barrage, then slow, and AB until It dies. But with groups of 4 or more it gets quite difficult. I don't have as many snares, slows, or damage mitigation as frost, and I don't have an elemental. Does anyone here have a good strat for leveling as arcane. My armory is in the sig.
Arcane mages aren't called glass-cannons for nothing...
Group pulls unless on accident should be avoided, and even when on accident, just hope you have your abilities on cooldown and have a decent amount of health, or you're dead.
Just about it for advice, really.

Sheep 1
PoM Frostbolt 2
Slow 3
Frost Nova 4
Nuke 2 then 3 , keep moving...
The way i did it when i pulled a group on accident.
Blink + Frost nova is ur friend as Arcane, if these friends failed use Invis.
I always avoid using invis to early cause im on a PvP server with trigger happy hordies ;)

Avoid group pulls if possible. If not, Sheep one, slow another, Frost nova once in range and nuke down in whatever order makes sense for current situation.
