hi ive been at 80 for about 2 weeks and i want to start getting into some heavier raiding (icc 10/25) however both myself and my guildys have been underwhelmed on my DPS thus far im useing a AB*3, AM(with MB proc) or Abarr. and unfortunutly there arnot any career mages in my guild that i can talk to about what the problem is.

http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Kil'jaeden&cn=Siop

I can pull 5-6k on a target dumbie over a 5 min time but during actual raids i have a hard time breaking 4.9k dps. i know alot of my DPs problem is gear but i am still very far under what i should be pulling.

Thanks any help is appreciated.

  I'm getting errors with your profile.  Did you recently get banned or something?

  Armoury's still down.  How about linking your spec from WoWhead & linking bits of gear?

Without seeing your gear (armory down) I can't make any specific recommendations; however

Your arane rotation should be AB024MBAM, meaning AB spam until you get an MB proc, and then cast MBAM at either 0, 2, or 4 stacks of the AB debuff.  Don't use Arcane Barrage.  Seriously.  If you've been spamming ABx4 for a few times and your mana is having issues, use a standard AM.  Once you get 4xT10 always do AB4MBAM.

Other than that, be hit capped (remember your raid buffs!), use your cooldowns liberally unless you know a hero is coming, stack spell power and haste, and never, ever, ever gem crit and you'll be golden.

Feel free to Armory me for optimal 10 man gear/spec in ICC.  Well, my belt is from ICC25 but the ICC one is comprable.  ICC10 pants are REALLY good as well; the mage tier 10 pants suck.

  And the ploy worked!  The armoury is back up.  Your hit is too high, go for this spec.  Less crit, more haste.  Also, that 12  spell power 10 spirit gem in your belt.....

The Talisman trinket isn't a very good one.  There's one from ToC regular (the 5 man) that is disgustingly good for it's availability.  I'd shoot for that. Otherwise, just look for upgrades with more spell power and haste and less crit and hit (you're actually over hit, as sage said) and you'll be fine.  Have you heard of Rawr?

Reign of the Dead is an absolutely amazing trinket.  IT's the 4th best in the game currently for Arcane Mages (Reign, heroic Reign, umm...the ICC Haste one, and the heroic version of that one).  If you can snag that, do it!
