So here are the implications for Arcane Mages should these changes make it through the testing process and then not get nerfed 36 hours after the patch drops about WoW Account. Cough.
There will be one acceptable spell rotation in PvE: Arcane Blast x 4>Arcane Missiles (if Missile Barrage has procced). If Missile Barrage fails to proc after four consecutive 40% chances for it to do so (and we all know this will happen frequently, thank you random number generation), you will keep casting fully stacked Arcane Blasts until it does, since the mana cost is not prohibitive to do so about WoW Account.
Arcane Barrage will have no further use in PvE, except as a way to continue to DPS on the move. This saddens me, since it is a 51 point talent, and it is an awesome spell, and I love it dearly. I pray they can find a way to make it PvE viable again, but doing so without upsetting the PvP applecart is probably going to be difficult. buy cheap wow gold
As mentioned before, mana efficiency will go way, way up, meaning Arcane Mages will have far more leeway in how and when they choose to use Evocation and their mana gems. Long fights will no longer be the chore they currently are about WoW Account, and DPS will increase because we no longer have to reign in our mana usage quite as much.
DPS will increase overall. I anticipate this change putting Arcane on par with deep Fire, and possibly even surpassing it about WoW Account. The increase from that fourth stack of Arcane Blast alone is huge.
