The rotation one should be doing (assuming in raid of course) [excuse the copy paste that I am doing from my guild forums that I posted there]
Highest Single Target DPS Spec: 0/58/13
From this spec you can make modifications.
1pt ice floes -> frostbite - Ice floes is fairly bad for the build anyway, so might as well max out frostbite for better farming. Keep in mind frostbite will not proc on blizzard without putting at least 1 pt in it.
1pt ice floes -> frostbite, 1pt world in flames -> imp. blizzard - More controlled blizzard dps. Keep in mind World in Flames affects blizzard dps.
1pt world in flames or 1pt frost channeling -> dragon's breath - Dragon's Breath
1pt ice floes -> frostbite, 1pt world in flames -> imp. blizzard, 3pt frost channeling -> shatter - Shatter/blizzard. This change alone isn't too awesome, however, if 2+ mages spec with 3/3 frostbite 1/3 blizzard the results can turn out excellent. Keep in mind you will do 10% more blizzard threat.
PRIORITY SYSTEM
"Living Bomb > Hot Streak Pyroblast > scorch refresh > ffb
However, this is only the main outline. Many improvements can be done. Amongst other things, Living Bomb explosion consumes a combustion charge, so you want to make sure to avoid it. You can always play around the timing of hot streak. There is no good reason to cast it right away. As such, if the hot streak mechanics allow you to safely cast living bomb / scorch -> hot streak, I would advocate it so as to avoid ignite munching. Of course, this assumes either living bomb or scorch was due for a refresh, otherwise I would just take the risk and hope ignite munching isn't too bad."
Do your best to keep living bomb up (after explosion of course) and to use it on the move if there is a lot of movement (same with fireblast) -- good for Heigan etc.
Use Mirror Image at the beginning of the fight (assuming there aren't Auras that will kill them immediately) so that you can use your cooldowns right off the bat (they work like Priest Fade [or at least the old one] where they split your aggro with you, but when they die (always after the 30 seconds) you gain back the aggro gained).
