Right now I am an Arcane mage 57/3/11, consistently putting out 3500-4k DPS. I keep hearing that fire spec is now able to put out higher DPS than arcane with the new gear coming from Ulduar, and I was just going to see what I could find out from everyone on here because I know *nothing* about fire specs as I have never used one :P. Any knowledgeable information at all will be appreciated and helpful. Armory hasn't updated me yet from doing my dailies with gear swaps, so the name is Minerrva. Can armory or wow-heroes. Thanks :)

Funny enough I swapped fire/frostfire for arcane. I used fire all the way from 10 for leveling and some pvp purposes.
It has some great dps, but the burst damage isn't that great. There is a lot of casting to be done, and that might be a problem. Still you can always dual spec and try out fire.
Here's a spec you could use:

Just play with it, see if you like it, put points elsewhere. But the main structure of that spec is what you should take from it. Don't invest points in dragon's breath and blast wave since you have to be close to deal the damage.

Please dont try that spec...the 10 points in arcane are completely worthless. Fire specs dont really have a mana issue so the clearcasting is not beneficial, you will also never be casting arcane missiles if you are deep into fire. Take the 10 points and either put them in frost to get a frostfire spec or take the frost points and put them into arcane to get the TTW spec, but to spread them out really doesnt help.
this... and, no ignite? that's a ridiculous gimp to your dps by not taking that. also, if you go frostfire, take the 5 points out of improved fireball.. if you're going fire/ttw, then take the 5 points out of incineration and improved fire blast..

Thanks for the input. Last night i tried out a fire spec that a friend gave me along with the ridiculous hit rating, and I saw that arcane has more burst damage, but in a longer fight fire usually comes out on top. Then again i was slaving scorch lol. If anyone has any other suggestions/tips, post please. Thanks again

Holy crap. See Myth #1 in sig link.
Probably why I switched to arcane, now that I think about it O-o
