edit: First, thanks for responding, I'm looking forward to whatever you plan to announce, just knowing that you have it in mind helps. Second, to people saying mage are fine, l2p, etc, I would just like to say that I'm currently ranked in the top 10 world for dks, and I was a gladiator on my pre-wotlk character as well(a shaman if you care).
Now here is how you beat any class as an arcane mage in maximum, 5 gcds.
1. cast slow
2. cast arcane blast 4k non crit
3. cast arcane blast 5k non crit
4. PoM arcane blast 10k crit (pretty reliable when used with arcane potency
5. if they are still alive, Barrage 6k non crit
thats 26k damage from a 1300 spell power mage in 5 gcds, only 4 of which were for damage. With only 1 crit. Now imagine a mage with 2k+ spell power, with a decent crit rate. you're seeing over 30k easy. We're not even going into the 16k pyro crits mages can get. Now here's the screenshot to prove it:

I have 540 resilence, he has 1300 spell power, feel free to armory either of us. Both on boulderfist server, magtos and rngesus.
