Only one of them will be available to the Arcane Mage... but let's see, Arcane's options on that tier are:

1.) PoM (No mana, 1 spell as instant)
2.) Scorch (2500 mana, as many as you'd like)
3.) Arcane Flows (3850 mana, two moving spells)

Given arcane's mana management game it pretty much is a no brainer to take Scorch. Why spend more mana on a spell just to make them mobile. After all we're talking about fights where you have to keep moving (like Green Mixture phase in Heroic Shadowfang) not ones where you need to move just a slight bit.

This highlights one of the problems with Mana Adept... Blizz has to make the talents all the same mana cost or utility or not there's a DPS impact for mages specifically.
