4.1 was the patch that made Arcane "THE" spec. 4.2 only made the gap worse because of scaling issues (despite the nerf applied to Arcane).

The major problem with both Fire and Arcane is their scaling with Intellect. Arcane scales far to well, and Fire scales far too poorly. So, with current tier gear, and the huge pile of Intellect that comes with it, Arcane puts Fire to shame. It's just the way it is.

(Fire could also use a change to Impact to make it more reliable. Nothing's more frustrating than fishing for that Impact proc that just won't come until it's too late.)
