Please kindly do not tell us what to do. Some of us have had little sleep today and are cranky. Giving us orders will be counterproductive. I must admit right now any little thing is causing me to want to squeeze someone's head until it explodes like a giant pimple.
That said, you have said that this is your first mage, so I'm assuming this is not your first character? If you have been good at your previous class and have crafted your own builds rather than just grabbing cookie cutter specs, you know that each talent you pick up will fall in one of two categories:
1)This talent isn't the best, but it's the better choice for unlocking a talent deeper in the tree that I want.
2)This talent will provide utility or damage to my build in a way that will benefit me.
Now that you have done this, spend some time and truly familiarize yourself with all the talents. Write down a list of what talents you could feasibly attain after you've reached the desired goal in your chosen tree. Then break them up into 2 categories. The useless and the useful. Be sure to write down why each is useful to your particular goal(in this case, leveling). Then you can decide which off tree is for you based on which tree will give you the most benefit for what you want to do.
As for which spec for leveling, honestly, there is no BEST spec. Only the spec that is best FOR YOU. Again, familiarize yourself with the strengths of the specs and their weaknesses, and see what most fits you. Don't be afraid to respec. The costs may seem high, but gold making in this game does come easy, IMO.
