Hopefully not. I love my Arcane Barrage. :)
Besides, he did say they weren't gonna
We think the problem is that Arcane Barrage is a very good spell, so much so that you need to get back to it right away and don't want to waste potential Barrage time with another spell. I know at this point you're expecting me to say that we're going to nerf Arcane Barrage, but actually we're going to mess with Arcane Blast some more. Lowering the cooldown is an attractive idea because it would let you squeeze Blasts off in between Barrages more easily. Alternatively, we could just buff Blast's damage so its clearly superior to Fireball or whatever else you might want to squeeze in there.
We normally don't want to go too far into how to play your class, but alternating Blast and Barrage with the occasional Arcane Missile when the fast cast procs, makes a pretty decent rotation.

So the rotation would be Living Bomb -> 2x Scorch -> FFB Spam until LB goes off, then repeat?
Is it worth using LB/Scorch on trash? I would guess it's worth using both unless there's CC, casting LB on the second mob in the kill chain, once per pull.
Also, when would be a good time to switch to FFB? I heard you need a certain amount of crit to make it worthwhile.

On the arcane PVE builds, I am curious as why no Slow? It can hit most bosses I have seen, and does work well with Torment the Weak.

Because casting slow every 15 minutes will kill your DPS faster than a Fire mage goes OOM spamming LB.

I´m sorry but with that rotation and build why not fireball instead of FFB?
Frostfire bolt gets the 100% crit damage from the frost talents as well.
So it has 150% bonus crit damage and every crit will have a dot of 2 ticks that does 40% damage for every crit.
It's like 330.75% crit for frostfire bolt or something with the meta chaotic skyflare diamond.
