Arcane VS Fire

So I'm a raid leader in my guild and I've noticed an influx of all our mages going fire over arcane, I know arcane out performs fire but I've noticed that their dps is low, like really low, 3k-4k in ToC10/Uld10 gear (4k is giving them a bit much too). Their reasoning was that arcane is boring, I can understand this but what I am wondering is: Is fire better at higher gear levels? Or is it just them and their rotation being wrong? Or what? We usually roll with a boomking/shaman and other helpful caster buffs.
Not knowing their rotation I can't really give you anything specific, I'm just wondering if Fire can out perform arcane at better gear levels or if its not supposed to be that large of a gap. Thank you for any helpful responses.

At the best gear levels, fire should be about 300-500 dps lower than arcane in a single target fight. Not too big of a difference, but it adds up over 6 minutes.
I also don't see how arcane is any more boring than fire. It still boils down to hitting three buttons, and watching for a proc.
