1) Fire(arcane) - 5920
2) Arcane - 5945
3) Fire(frost) - 5725 dps with no Razorice. With 5% frost damage on Razorice, 5918
Maintaining Scorch
1) Fire(frost) - 5982. Without razorice. Pintofbrew makes very insightful points earlier w.r.t. incineration
2) Fire(arcane) - 5918
So Frostfire is top dps, but only when maintaining scorch
.....and this is before the selfish scorch buff
So is the 5982 dps with using FFB or Scorch as the main nuke? Considering that maintaining Scorch increases DPS, is it our highest DPS spell (excluding LB and HS procs)?

So from now on, when you pop combustion don't have living bomb active. Hell, then is living bomb even a dps increase using it in that manner? I'm really not in the mood to test that....
That's a little annoying... So you now may have to wait for all of your combustion charges to be used up before you can throw out a LB? And then in order to put up another Combustion, you have to wait for LB to tick down? Ugh.
edit: Maybe we'll even end up needing to Spec for Combustion > LB instead of both together? I think it will still be a DPS increase though to have both spec'd... I'll let Mathron do the math 'cause it's in his name. :-)

The nerf to our scorch buff may make it less worth our time to actually refresh the buff when Warlocks can put on a better buff FOR us. I think that's how it works...

This is one of the most annoying changes ever. I just love it. LB will now screw your ignite munching, screw your combustion, add marginal DPS and WON"T help on HS.
GG Blizzard. Your one DPS increase to mages in an entire patch and it's more bittersweet than anything.
Once again, back to my druid.

Now, see, Mathron just made me happy. (Not Blizzard. I give the credit to the messenger.)
That's a change I could get into. Especially the Winter's Chill thing (And ESPECIALLY if they make it all frost. May actually make up for the 5% less crit off the top)
If nothing else, at least Blizzard acknowledges the fact that mages are NOT okay in their current incarnation.

Well at least it's a step in the right direction.

I'm still feeling pretty happy with the changes. I've heard a few mages on my server saying they feel nerfed, but personally I don't really see it that way.
The Spirit Conversion isn't too bad at all, it's better than nothing and in the long run could work out scaling quite nicely when we get near the end of WotLK's life cycle.
