True but u must have noticed some of the things they took away for eg. the stupid fire jumping debuff going to Ignis

Fraya with all her trees up is a bitch and what you say there is very true I was more talking about the small changes they made that made it easier to pug Ulduar
Something tells me Blizz is shutting the doors on WoW and trying to get everyone moving to Starcraft.
Gear should be earned not gifted to any twat that goes into Crusader's Coliseum and spends some time mucking about. you should never replace an Ulduar epic with a normal mode one. Thats a mockery of all the hard work people put into getting into Ulduar let alone kicking some Freya roots!
Yippee for epic gems and epic JC'ing - this was a boost comparable to the Inscribing launch way back when.
Anyhow.. good luck folks

err shutting doors on wow, i really would love to know your sources,. Im sure blizzard is going to kill wow which has lets say 10 million subscribers... right.. starcraft...right.. remember not everyone is into RTS games..
Dude i have been following some of your posts ... Looks like all you can do is criticize other peoples posts. We are all entitled to our opinion and BelAl was giving his option, he did not say that is whats happening. Stop trolling the forums and either grow up and say something constructive or just don't say anything at all.
And ref to my post saying my gear is not in the top end ... if Naxx 25 and Ulduar gear is not in the top end where do you find your secret dungeons (Secret cow level or what)? Yes i have 1 crafted item and 4 vendor items(Bought with earned badges from top end Raids) the rest is in the top raids so in my OPINION it is top end gear (No the best) But top end none the less.
Another note : my alts are not high ? 2 x 70 and 1 x 71. Lets think about that, they are 87.5% (70/80 * 100) from max level so again what is your idea of high ?? 100% = lvl 80 if you did not know. Seriously you are being laughable ...

You find secret dungeons in elywnn, those mines where the 'me no take candle guys' are.
Just like you are entitled to your own opinion i am entitled to criticize. And no naxx25 is not top end raiding gear, it was perhaps 3/4 months ago. Not anymore, and definitely not worth the price you want for that account, your opinion means nothing when it comes to lvl on the item, because your opinion does not dictate the mechanics of the game. 213 < 219 (fact).
I say again the price you ask for that account is laughable, two 70's oh wow, take a look at the other guy xtc who is selling his account, now that is a top end account which is worth 2k-3k. Not yours.

You can't assume that the higher the item lvl the better the gear. Furious items have a very high item lvl does that mean a PvPer should pass on raid gear cause his gear is at a higher item lvl ?
There are more things that need consideration than just item lvl, There is your talent build (spec), style of play etc. so just because an item is a high lvl does not mean it is the best to have. Although if the stats types are the same on both peaces (Which is difficult to find) the higher item lvl will be better, having more points in that stat type. To this i do agree, but in a lot of cases some lower lvl gear is better than higher lvl gear.
Dude read the posts again, it is not just two 70's, it is three 70's one 56, one 80, one 26 and time spent to lvl proffesion's, rep, Artifact items, Vault with 3 tabs etc..
Anyway this is a moot point as you have to be right cause that is what critics do and think. The sad thing about forums is people always find the sarcastic, know it all critic that think he/she knows all.

awww QQ, yes your point is moot. Items with a higher level are generally better, obviously there will be difference in stat weighting, but the idea is you lose a stat here but when you find the matching piece in the instance you gain a lot on that item.
PVP != PVE
Mage, so you just stack spell power,intellect, hit. Not much to take into account via a talent spec.
Dude seriously Stack SP, Int + Hit ?? ZOMG learn the class before you make stupid comments.
Spirit not important ?
3 points into Student of the Mind - Increases your total spirit by 10%
Glyph (Although not a talent) - Molten Armour (Your Molten Armor grants an additional 20% of your spirit as critical strike rating.)
Haste not Important ?
3 points into Netherwind presence - Increases your spell haste by 6%
Hit talents ...
Precision - Reduces the mana cost and increases your chance to hit with spells
Arcane Focus - Increases your chance to hit and reduces the mana cost of arcane spells
int Talents ...
Arcane Mind - increases your total intellect by x%
Firstly
your stat priority is missing some core elements namely Haste and Spirit.
Secondly
If you look at some talents i named here i am sure some people would disagree that there are indeed some talents to take into account. Due to these talents some gear will take priority over other gear and one can focus more on haste for example.
You just proved my point about being some critic that thinks he knows it all by being so arrogant, and posting total BS on what a mage should do. Do you even think before you post something ? I am being serious do you ?
PvE != PvP your right but Gear == Gear, So you said higher gear is better well .... is it?

Hey chill my little friend
He is still correct
Haste and Spirit comes with gear. In no particular order Hit+Sp+Intellect is the most important. Spirit, is nice but not priority and as for Haste, that you get with Tier bonuses and so forth on gear. No need to stack it like you would with the 3 Core attributes
Dude i seriously disagree, All stats come with the bonuses(Not set bonus).
Int, SP will always be on all caster gear so there is no need to focus on those stats. Whereas Hit, Haste and Spirit come on some gear. Now depending on your spec, You would opt for more spirit or haste or hit depending.
As a dps Mage you need to get a good balance between crit, SP and Haste. It is not a clear cut case of stacking INT, SP and HIT.
IF you tend to just look at the INT, SP and HIT, soon you will realize you are over capped with HIT, Crit rating (After raid buffs) is 38+%. For vanilla wow that was great, but not anymore.
You just need to balance it all out. Crit should be on the 20% unbuffed, Hit depending on spec should be capped but not over capped. once those two things are sorted then you can focus on other stats.
With my mage i manage 3.8 - 4.5k dps in Ulduar with his current Gear. That with a 500-600ms. So i must be doing something right.

If you know the Hit cap and you have reached it you can up your haste rating and so forth. Hit is still more important than anything else till that point. Running out of mana during a fight or having to pop evocasion takes away DPS. So for that reason Intellect first then Spirit for Mana regen while casting. (Unless you have enought spirit to regen more than you cast *this is impossible*) Then we get to SP but that is what increases your damage per hit which needs Hit and you need intellect to be able to Hit more with higher damage thanks to SP.
Haste = more hits (Still worthless without Hit cap and the intellect to be able to support the extra casts in that time frame) Again SP = Bigger hits so it still takes priority over Haste.
Spirit is needed yes, but second to Intellect.
Edit:
Btw I wasn't saying your are doing something wrong. I am saying that Semaphore was right. You shot him down as if he didn't know shyt. There is a difference
What you are saying holds water, but so did what Semaphore said.

In order:
Hit (till capped) > Spell Power > Haste and Crit > the rest should be there, but not as important as these 4.
Intellect should not be gemed. It should be fine with the gear you get. Only gem hit and spell power.

Yes you're right.
But you need to build on a desent Mana pool also. The trick I think is to strike a balance that suits your play style.
