I started off as a fire mage. Levelling to 70 with a terrible spec, and having no idea what I was doing. I then switched to a frost raid spec or 40/0/21, and I have been enjoying that for the past month or so.
I'm a raider, so I'm not looking to spec for PvP, I'm looking for max controlled dps. I'm running Kara mostly at the moment, and the guild is looking to get into Mags and Gruuls soon.
I've been thinking of respeccing fire, as the fire mages seem to get a lot more dps than me even though our gear is around the same level. Or maybe a deeper frost spec, because I've noticed a deep frost mage in my guild get insane damage with gear that isnt much higher than mine.

Obviously if I respecced fire I would change the Shadoweave set and offhand for the fire equivalent. Or just a general upgrade. My two questions are;
1. Is it worth respeccing fire and changing my gear? Or should I stay same frost spec? Or go deeper frost?
2. Is there any better spec than 40/0/21 for frost raiding? I have looked around but I haven't found any.
And a not really related question.. but I didnt want to make a whole new thread...
3. Is my gear reasonable to be entering Mags/Gruuls?
