The reason why not many people play Arcane in PvP is because many people aren't ******ed enough to play a 1-button spec. Some people don't have what it takes to play Frost or Fire (since they DO take skill to play, and have actual skillcap) so they decide to faceroll spamming Arcane Blast in random BGs. And no, this isn't a joke, this is the truth. I used to play Arcane back when I was still learning to play mage, and all i did literally find a bunch of people fighting, find a safe spot, pop offensive cds/Time Warp and AB blast spam them to death. Simple as that. You would have serious trouble if you got spotted and focused, but that should NEVER happen if you know what you're doing. The key to success as an Arcane mage is not being noticed (if you know what I mean).
So no, Arcane Mage isn't challenging to play, like at all.
