Im gonna give arcane a try and was hoping for a few tips from you guys please!
Ive read the arcane threads so know the basics, so i just would like some advice about playing an arcane mage.
One answer i would like to know is do i still aoe mobs of 3 or more(might sound a silly question!)
Thanks for the help :)
Just hit 80 and wont be raiding just heroics for a while.

If I'm not mistaken, the maximum DPS route is to stand nearby and Arcane Explosion your way through. But you run the risk of being cleaved and taking significant damage.
I believe the 'standard' method is to Flamestrike (Rank 9), Flamestrike (Rank 8) and Blizzard, rinse and repeat.

New mage here, with a few questions as well (thanks in advance for your patience & help!):
1) MBAM = ? ... my guess is Missile Barrage (if proc'd) OR Arcane Missile (if no MB proc)
2) I've seen a number of posts say ABx4 (Arcane Blast) than AM (Arcane Missile). When do you use Arcane Barrage?
3) Somone said that all good tanks will have a mechanic that slows/snares the target to make
ToW
work without Slow... What abilities are these, so I can know when/if I need to slow?

Just to add on, It's not just Icy touch that triggers TTW, it's any target affected by frost fever, meaning on fights where you have a certain target to focus down, aslong as you have a DK in your group you should still get the extra 12%
(the DK's do NOT need to be speced for improved icy touch)
Warriors don't need to be spec'd for Improved Thunder Clap either.
