I have read the material about the latest changes, but something still seems to be off for me. The last two nights I've gone OOM and had to ice lance or just wait on a CD during Boss fights. I'm wearing the same gear I always do and have the standard spec. Anybody else having this problem recently? My DPS has also dropped some, but that was expected.

I haven't had any more problems than usual. What rotation are you using? Using molten armor or mage armor?

edit: why didn't you get focus magic?

I switched to 3xab and am without the Arcane Barrage since the co-efficient was lowered. You may have been looking at my weekend pvp spec. I do raid with focus magic.

Ahh okay, even though you did link a wowhead spec sheet :-p

I am kind of stuck deciding between doing

ABx3-AM [mbar]
or back to the normal ABx3-Abar[mbar] rotation. It seems that using Abar is a tiny dps increase but a lot more mana intensive. I need to read up more.

Since switching to Arcane (which I love) from FFB, I've been doing a AB x3 + Amissile(when it's up). I occasionally use Arcane Barrage if the missiles don't come up for a while to reset the AB stack and conserve a little mana. On the longer boss fights I always come close to running out of Mana, but never seem to before a cooldown is up. I do use mana pots much more than I ever did with FFB, though. If it's really close, I'll do ABx2, then whatever is available-either Arcane Barrage or Missiles. Then when I top off, I go back to the ABx3. But, I'm still experimenting with the rotation just to see what the best DPS is. Ever since I switched to arcane, my DPS has been so high, I can afford a little experimenting here and there.

The mana depends a lot on who is in the raid. No replenishment hurts some.
