"I like Arcane Missiles simply because it allows you to stand at max range and still use your normal rotation"

Unless Wowhead and my memory are both wrong, the three main arcane nukes now all have a 30-yard base range, and Magic Attunement increase them all equally. So this glyph doesn't serve a purpose except extending the range of AM above the others.

Personally, I use the AB, Mage Armor, and Mana Gem glyphs for raiding 57/3/11, although the gem glyph will probably get swapped out for Arcane Power once I gear up a bit more. We have the ability to control our own mana consumption via AB stacking, and I find that adding in an extra AB or two to my rotation is far better than getting 5% crit from glyphed Molten Armor on short fights. And if it's a long fight, that extra regen is happiness.

Again, I'm not sporting as big of a mana pool as I want yet either, so that could make all the difference.

Minor glyphs: Penguin, Slow Fall, and Arcane Intellect. There's not much else out there for raiding mages, unless you use Fire/Frost Ward often.
