"Saying you sue spell steal, remove curse and ply and such does not realy count. They are the exception to the rotation not the normally cast spells."

Are you up against things that have stealable buffs or interruptible casts? Then you should be using those two spells every chance you get. It's much like an aoe rotation, you do what you can because it works better. And the mana spent on them is part of what makes Arcane interesting, can you afford to waste the mana here and lose your damage buff from having high mana?

Arcane had its overhaul, and raids are where it shines. Yes, it's less button pressy, but it's not easier. Long term fights become a big deal to know how best to spend your mana to keep maximum damage flowing out. 5-mans are simply about blowing your wad into the open mouth of the town whore, it doesn't matter if you have to take viagra afterwards because you can afford to.
