Arcane is good DPS once you have the gear to go with it, but also very mana inefficient for raiding/grouping unless you are with a shadow priest and chug mana pots at all times. Frost is your best bet if you want to stay with survivability; it is built to be that way, you can't have the best of both worlds ;)

well thanks for posting your thoughts so when i get to the outlands ill do arcane can you give me some thoughts on gear and maybe a build for arcane thank you
In order for arcane to be good, your gear needs to be tier 5 or better. A common build is
seen here
. Two points left over for wherever you wish (Slow works on some mobs, not all).

my lvl 52 mage 3-shots yellow mobs, and 2-shot them if i crit
i use 100% fire spec with about 240 spell damage
it's lots of fun. I recommend giving first a try... you can still freeze, blast wave, and dragons breath for stuns.

at 70 with ~1035 spell dmg Toenail (seen below) never runs out of mana in 5man or 10man runs, to include boss fights.
Rotation? AM xN (where N is the number of AM to kill it)
Every time you see Leaving Combat on your screen, drink. If your group gets a little ahead of you dont freak out cuz the tank needs agro anyway. This takes care of 5man and 10man trash.
For boss fights:
Equip Alchemist's Stone (arcane mage = herb/alch)
Drink Elixir of Draenic Wisdom + Adept's Elixir
When mana deficit reaches 3k, use Mana gem.
When mana deficit reaches 5k, drink mana potion.
When mana deficit reaches ~75%, Evocate.
Rinse, Lather, Repeat.
As for farming (on a lower scale) it takes me one AM to kill a lvl 60 mob in Hellfire Peninsula.

Check out my spec on the armory link below. It's full arcane with pyro, and it rocks!
In raids, I do Arcane Blast > AB > AB, Arcane missiles > Arcane Missiles, then a scorch or two and repeat. Then use PoMPyro when arcane concentration procs.
