DING! Level 70!Follow

Hey all, as the subject implies, I've just reached level 70 on my human mage and I'm working on getting geared for heroics and eventually raids. My question is this: Are there any "golden numbers" that mages should be looking for stat-wise? I've been scouring the other posts and all I can find is that for raids I should bee hit rating capped (164 I believe). I've started on my craftable epics, but I don't really have much in the way of instance loot. It's mostly questing blues and greens. So I'm looking for ballpark numbers regarding: spell damage, spell crit, spell hit, health, mana pool, and anything else I forgot.

700 +dmg, 80-90 spell hit, 25% crit should get you started with Kara.

Are these buffed or unbuffed?

hopefully unbuffed, but you can do a 40/21/0 or 40/0/21 to make up for the lack of spell damage until you get more to give you around 800+ unbuffed.

Is that 25% Fire crit or 25 Spell crit (and therefore, 34% Fire crit?)

Edit: for a 10/47/3 build.

I am going to guess 25% fire crit, it takes a bit to get enough gear to get around 30%+ fire crit (I sit at 31% with molten armor up).

When you respec from the usual 10/48/3 build to a 40/21/0 build, you lose some crit%. Also, with the loss of Elemental Precision, you lose some spell hit. I'm wondering if the additional spell damage and crit damage coming from the 40/21/0 build is worth it. In my experience its harder to acquire gear with +crit and +hit than it is to acquire gear with +damage.
