So I had a question about the best leveling spec for a 3.3.5 Mage. Everyone seems to say Frost, though some advocated Fire if you could rustle up crit gear. Do you think a Mage with all the Heirloom items for 3.3.5 (Robe, Staff, two relics) has enough crit to make Fire outstrip Frost? Or should I stick with Frost? Thanks in advance!
Even with full heirloom gear frost is better than fire. You don't have enough crit to make fire worth it unless you are a twink.
Once you get http://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/spell=30451 arcane becomes an option though.
frost easy, safe and fast, but fire more fun. with frost it's just: frostbolt->frostbolt->nova if frostbite not proc->frostbolt->frostbolt or fireblast to finish.
with fire you have pyro, blast wave, dragon breath, random stun from fireblast, and my favorite - blazing speed.

Frost.
arcane spec is pretty decent for leveling. most people think that it is not mana sufficient but after 20 lvl it is more mana efficient than fire and frost.
