Question about Dispel MagicFollow

I have a quick question for the mages here. As a priest I am tasked with the duty of dispelling magic on the group. There is a debuff that appears on the mages when they cast certain spells. I'm not exactly sure what benefit the mage gets from it, but I'd like to know a few things about it.

-The effect of the debuff
-The name of the debuff so I can exempt it from appearing as a debuff to dispel

When I try to cast Power Infusion on mages, I sometimes get the "more powerful spell is active" message. Is this due to this debuff, or is there something else being used that I should be planning around?

I don't frequent this forum often, but I like what you've done with the place here.

Arcane Blast is a debuff currently, but changing in the next patch to a buff so it won't be dispelled. Power Infusion cannot be used when Arcane Power (Potency?) is up. It's an arcane spell that increases spell damage and cost. I don't know if Arcane Power shows as a debuff, but I expect not.

the powerinfusion part is kind of messed up. They kept the restriction from BC when it was equal to about Arcane Power, but they have since changed it to be equal to Bloodlust (which obviously it will not stack with that). It should stackable with arcane power, but for whatever reason it isn't.

Oh, and again, grats Locke on Guru

Thanks for the responses. I've been using PI on a mage who engages in friendly DPS competition with a warlock (mostly) and others during guild runs (I don't think the lock has caught on yet, lol). I can't take credit for most of the dust the mage leaves behind, but even he realizes the impact PI has on boss fights. I try to keep it on cd or pop it with heroism, but it sounds like the two don't stack- at least for the haste.

As far as the Arcane Blast debuff being changed in the patch, that is welcome news. Thanks again, and gratz on guru Locke!
