I have to agree with the above. I hate that the player base is so willing to switch to the FotM spec just because EJ says that it's superior, or because it performs better under SimCraft conditions. Fire is far and away my favorite spec in the game, and i want to see it succeed. I wish i could say that the difference between fire and arcane was insignificant, but it simply isn't true.
I've been playing with fire for years, and I know the spec inside and out. I'm 3 bosses into heroic FL with my raid group, and I can still pull top dps with fire with a little luck. But when i gain 3-5k dps on my first night EVER raiding as arcane, something's got to give. All pie > cake jokes aside, how do you tell your guildies that you're taking 5k away from their raid dps because you don't "feel" like playing arcane?
