Constructive Critcism

Please look at my gear, rep, whatever and tell me what most i need to work on. Other than getting a new back, which i have yet to find one.

Just looking for tips from experienced mages

Another thing, I have always done heroics/triedtoraid as Arcane due to the fact that i can keep 13k Dps consistently until i lose mana which takes about 3 minutes on a raid boss. I've recently gone back to fire after seeing a mage pull 17k consistently in a heroic. But I cant seem get the DPS past 11k I will pull 11k on a good boss fight, but then fall to 7-8k on average boss fights.
Should i still start off with Scorch>Living Bomb>Fireblast/Scorch until Pyro proc and combust?

Just lookin for tips
Thanks
a nub
Fire's going to suck in single target heroic damage.

I'd open up with Pyro since it gives the tank time to get threat anyway.
That's what i thought before I saw that Fire Mage in a heroic pull 13k dps on boss. He was geared in about 2 tier eleven pieces and Was about half in epics
You need alot of help. Make a toon in game on my server and we'll talk. Hope you have a while, but I can promise to fix alot of issues.

Fires single target dps in heroics is fine. When I had fresh gear for heroics I was 9k-10k. Now most bosses I am at 19k-23k

As far as rotation goes for single target I do - Scorch > LB > Flame Orb > FB spam and using Pyro! on proc. Make sure to combust right after a good crit on FB and Pyro ONLY.
You do not need a pyro dot on there to have a great combustion. If you get a big FB crit you should combust if you have LB up as well.

Make sure you are using Flame orb on CD

Enchant, you have 4 unenchanted items.

You are gemming incorrectly INT>HIT you should read the EJ fire mage post it helps alot.
Do NOT gem hit. Reforge to hit and gem INT

Your gloves should be enchanted with haste not mastery.

Sorry I know I am all over the place... hope this helps some
