Arcane would be fine if Blizz didn’t try to recreate Dance Dance Revolution in every encounter.
Toooo much movement required to make Arcane viable.
Frost is better overall. Fire may be able to spike a lot higher but people forget that it takes a tank willing to pull and the group essentially agreeing to play around the combustion CD for the mage to spike so hard (and helps if a priest is around to feed them power infusion).
Frost is just consistently good even if the tank is like 99% of other tanks and pulls 1-2 packs at a time. Frost still does pretty good (especially with the ice lance splitting legendary) if the tank does pull as if the mage is fire still. On top of that, frost has more useful slows if kiting is required.
