Just leveled 80 a couple of days ago and could really use some help from more experienced mages out there. I leveled with frost spec and upon reaching 80, respec'd to fire with some arcane until I can get better gear. My dps is really low...I think the last time it was measured (my brother tested it alongside me using his recount), it was like 1.8. I really want to learn how to bring it up.
Now that I'm mostly fire, I need to know what spell rotation is best. I've searched all over the internet for assistance; kept hoping I'd run along a picture of someone else's action bars...lol. Also, what can I do to hasten my spell cast.....seems like when I cast a fireball I keep thinking, "Just
throw
already!"
to hasten your spell cast you need gear that has /gasp.... haste... that's about it..
with that having been said.. Deep fire/arcane isn't a spec for someone who just hit 80.. it's not a very gear forgiving spec. You may want to look into arcane or frostfire. Also, a link to your armory would help to see exactly what kind of gear you DO have so we could give you some suggestions as to what you need to pick up before you start raiding.

Your hit rating is VERY low, and maybe a fourth of what you need in order to go to deep fire.
First off, respec Arcane. 57/3/11 build, Arcane Blast x3 Arcane Missile rotation. Then go do Heroics and get rid of any gear that you've gotten from Questing or drops, you can usually find this list on DPSMax.
When you're decently geared, gem your stuff with 16+ Hit rating yellow gems until you're 269(? Some other mage please confirm this.), or whatever the hit rating is for arcane.
It's a gear problem, and deep fire is relentless to those who don't have hit rating.
