The number of Arcane Blasts that you do is not an indication of playing well (or not playing well) it is the number of Arcane Blasts that you do at 4 x AC without casting them below 93% mana unless you are burning. Just going through your logs for other fights (Assault is not really suited for Arcan...

I will happily add your links to the main posts, but can you please provide the information asked for in the original post to make browsing easier for other site users.

When you said Arcane produced the highest sim was that a 4+ target fight or add wave sim? The reason I ask is because there are no fights in HFC where there are 4+ targets stacked the entire fight and Frost may work better for you in real world situations with Orb and WaterJet for some burst cleave....

Moved to the correct area for these questions.

Short answer: During AP and PC. 2 in PC, 2 in the boss, 2 in PC etc.... Long answer: (Substitute Ice Nova for SN it's the same thing) While the answer is the same, this is not what the question was asking. The question was should they be using SN on PC instead of the now modified (faster) AB's or s...

Defiantly looking into some new WA. My only problem is I'm always hesitant on whether or not I should go into burn phase or wait since I have no procs Your burn is not dependant on procs. It is dependant on if Arcane Power is off CD and Evocation is off CD or will be soon (or the boss will die soon...

I have looked you up on WarcraftLogs and the first thing that I saw is you are not changing your talents. The only thing I can see you changing it RoP -> IF and vice versa. Just stick with IF for now while you focus on other areas of your rotation but you really want to be changing up your level 7 t...

Challenge modes haven't changed at all since the expansion hit so that guide should be just as current today as it was then. The biggest thing that would have changed is fight tactics as people fine tune the quickest paths so youtube is probably the best bet for that. Yes, there maybe some items fro...

You said that I should stop casting AM after crystal has despawned...Does this mean that during crystal I should be using any AM charges I get on it? or only if I have 3 AM stacks during it? Yes. I forget where I read it but it has been shown that you want to use AM on the crystal (as long as you c...

Also, please read http://altered-time.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=41" target="_blank before posting as it details what information we need before we can help you.

Here is the trinket pair comparisons that is linked in the Frost FAQ post.

1.) The guides give recommendations based on the results of SimC which is almost always using the fight conditions of pure single target, no movement, no burst requirements because this is something constant. Real world fights are completely different and so you need to change up your talent selecti...

It is but I working on the assumption the OP wants to use the same button for target switching with MoD and so on.

If I get it, which is never on kills, then I would use AM>Everything else. 5x explosions per AM trumps absolutely anything else you can throw at a MoD including SN, and not by small margins either. If there were 10 hands using my own avg dmg for spells on Kormrok: 100k AM, 55k SN, 25k PoF, 15k AE 1...

I'm not qt home to test my self but have you tried using modifiers such as shift, alt or ctrl? This takes a bit of extra thinking about so my help to rule out the accidental clicks.

Also, will the talent modifiers work with targeting as well?

Nothing specifically for when PC ends, but you can use the "/targetlasttarget" macro.

I apologise in advance for being blunt but a lot of these questions are answered in existing posts if you want more detail I would suggest you go and read these posts to save doubling up on work. 1.) There is no average. This is so dependant on what your guild does DPS wise, raid composition and rai...
