Mage Talents Build

I've been spending more than 1,000 gold respecting talents on my Mage character. I have tried a lot of new talent builds and got disappointed. Finally, I got exactly what I'm looking for, the two talent builds: Frost Arcane, and Arcane Fire. I'm now really satisfied with these 2 builds. Thanks to the Dual Spec Ability, now I can switch between one and the other easily when I got bored. So here is how I build my Mage talents:
1) Arcane Fire: the first picture below
-This spec is just perfect. Good for anything: PvP, Farming, Leveling or Raiding.
-How to PvP with this spec? This spec helps your mage become more active in a battle. You don't have to stay at one place casting spell like frost mages do. You can run around while casting instant spells which also do tons of damage like: Arcane Barrage and Fire Blast... But that's not all you do. A combination of Presence of Mind and Pyroblast is a killing shot to bring down any player instantly. It does about 5k6 damage crit or more with a normal gear and 55% crit chance. (Arcane Potency 30% crit +6% crit from World in Flame, plus your base crit about 20%). Arcane Barrage greatly helps your mage become active in any battle. Its cooldown is only 3s. You can run around casting this plus fire blast ultil your opponent runs out of hp.
So this is how I solo in a battleground: slow, instant pyroblast, arcane power (if necessary, 20% spell damage increase) arcane barrage, fire blast, arcane barrage, arcane barrage, fire blast... hardly anything could stand after these bursting good damage. Don't forget to turn on your mana shield to increase your spell damage and always use your slow, it's extremely useful against all class.
Why this spec also good for farming and raiding? Thanks to Arcane Flows, you can use Evocation more often, every 2 minutes, instead of 4. Combine this skill and the mana gems, you rarely have to worry about the mana pool. You can also use Focus Magic to buff your raid member and got 3% crit when they do crit.
Why not Arcane Medication? Mage attributes should only be stressed on stamina and intellect. That's why we do not have a lot of spirit. For this reason, Arcane Medication could not maximize its potential.
2)Frost Arcane: the second picture below
This is also another interesting way of talent build. A lot of people build their mage like this. This build helps Mage become more endurable during battle thanks to Ice Barrier, Ice Block and Cold Snap. This build also does tons of damage, but limited and conditional.
I only switch to this build when I got tired with the other build.
