I've looked into the 19 mage for MoP, not as extensively as someone like Chill who might be able to theory craft this a lot better than me, but if you check it out, crit stacked fire mages seem the way to go for straight out dps. Don't get me wrong though, I personally would still roll frost haste for cc advantage in premades if there was only one mage.
Arcane spec using the Ice Flow's talent seemed like the best option until I saw how Pyroblast was going to work:
at about 1.45 sec cast, Scorch your target for likely around the 150-200 mark (comparing to Searing Pain)(Could be wrong, don't judge me >.<) with the high chance of ~25% crit chance with professions and being worgen not to mention with the ability to keep mobile.
Pyroblast! with the base cast of 3.5 sec, obviously slightly reduced by haste, would require little stop time to worry about hard casting it anyway with it's slight redesign of "Your direct damage critical strikes have a chance to make your next Pyroblast! instant cast and cost no mana".
Also a nice addition, Regardless of whatever spec you choose, you keep the passive talent, Shatter, which will DOUBLE the critical strike chance of ALL SPELLS, plus an additional 25%. With that being said, 25% base crit, doubled, with an extra 25% is 75% in total, giving you a very high chance of a free Pyroblast.
chardev 9 Here is a Chardev I created with my idea of a best in slot crit set, NON GRANDFATHERED. People with grandfathered items will know what to replace with the given's anyway and most people aren't grandfathered so I suited this better to them. If you feel there could be a better item replacement on this for a Crit stacking set while keeping the hit cap, please let me know your suggestions to edit into the Chardev
.
Edit 1 - Before someone actually picks up on it, +70 armor is on the cloak because as you may or may not have heard, resistances will be abolished with the introduction of MoP, making +70 armor the triumphant choice for cloak enchant.
