Well I'm still in the solo stage (read level 63) so doing raiding build is totaly useless for me. That said, I'll explain IMO why I take pyroblast. D O T sometimes tickes out 250+ per tick. I've seen them even hit the high 300's before. --

If you don't have 3/3 elemental precision for a fire build, you are wasting gem slots really. Crit and damage are more important.

Pyro is a good opener for leveling. Hits hard but I wouldn't use it for much more. If I was leveling fire, I would go with this build: http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=of0VZxghzfcIoeRt0h Blastwave and Dragon's Breath are good for killing multiple adds. Frost nove and then flamestrike finish with blastwave and DB. Alot of burst damage. May try an elemetal build this weekend for Hydross. http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=oZxg0zfccoeRtVA0c0d --

CoElements is just as good for fire mages though. :) I'm heavily in the fire tree; I've done a lot of number crunching on my own, and have read a lot of others and it does the most dps, and the dpm is better than Arcane as well; though arcane gets more regen. I just like the fire! In general, Blizz has done a good job of ensuring that each tree has a strong presence in raids. I think they have the balance about right, they all do good damage; Fire does the most given equitable gear and ability, but Arcane and Frost both have other utility that often closes the gaps regarding raid usefulness. --

Indeed i would agree over time fire is the best. And noone can say Frost isnt about saveing repair bills and keeping dps up till the bitter end. From personal experiance arcane would be the trash killer we put out sick burst and drop the mobs to speed up time spent killing bosses. (sorry for any spelling/grammer/punctuation mistakes) --
