Glyph Of frostfire
Glyph of improved scorch
Glyph of molten armor

Tips & Changes that varies at at the user:
You can change the 2 points i personally spend on Flame Throwing
to Blast Wave and Dragons Breath if you want more aoe dps in order to kill trash
if not keep Flame Throwing since your pyroblast will reach 41 yards range which is the same as frostfire bolt

Take in consideration this is a PVE instance /raids built and it isnt reccomended for leveling.


Rotation

2 Scorch in order to get 10% more crit

Living Bomb

Frostfire Bolt until the Scorch buff almost fades out in that case you have to cast again 1 Scorch, dont forget to cast living bomb each time it fades out

Every time you get Instant Pyroblast use it (*tips: assign pyroblast at a keybinding, check mage addons if you need counters)

Improved rotation (reccomended only if you have a lot of mana after the end of the battle with the previous rotation)

2 scorch

Living Bomb

Frostfire bolt +fire blast

Instant Pyroblast when you get the chance

Rotation tips

1.When you use Icy Veins only cast Frostfire Bolt (dont use scorches or fireblast) ofcourse if instant pyro pops up use it :D

2.Use scorches with caution. Scorch produce insane ammounts of threat so the best chance to spam it is at the very end of the battle where the tank has high ammount of threat.
