I love this talent... It's amazing.

To add some numbers... http://ctprofiles.net/5008130 with that gear and build. with full gems and raid buffs. arcane missles gets roughly +2030 spell dmg. Which makes the total dmg of the spell 3430. Thats if it doesnt crit. With the talent for clearcasting adding 30% crit and having a approx 20% crit thats 50% crit rate. Your arcane missles are ticking for 686dmg non crit and 1200 on a crit. with AP and the trinket equiped in the profile you'll get roughly 962 non crit missles and 1683 crits. so with 50% crit and AP + trinket and casting arcane missles with full raid buffs you would be getting 1322DPS from arcane missles for the duration of AP/trinket. Lets not even go into also having the WSG/AV Berserker buff...

I think you are messed up with arcane poteny. Arcane potency does not give you 30% static crit chance. It would be so overpowered in that way. it adds 30% crit rate when clearcasting has procced. Since clearcasitng has a 10% proc chance you can think of combat potency 3% crit chance overall. this and arcane poteny are nice talents, and potency can help you to deal some nice burst dmg in pvp but no, it does not increase your total dps as much as in your example.

This change has now been applied to Patch 3.3.0 PTR notes:

Arcane Empowerment: This talent now also grants 1/2/3% increased damage done by the mage's party or raid for 10 seconds after the mage gets a critical strike with Arcane Explosion, Arcane Missiles, Arcane Barrage, or Arcane Blast. This effect is exclusive with Ferocious Inspiration and Sanctified Retribution.

This effect is exclusive with Ferocious Inspiration and Sanctified Retribution.

This does not stack with the above spells, basically they are giving Arcane the same raid utility as Paladins and Hunters with the raid wide 3% damage increase addition in Patch 3.3.0.

Comment by Tutsumi

Coming as of 3.3.3, this will now be a passive skill instead of a proc.

"Arcane Empowerment: This effect is now passive instead of being a proc off of critical strikes. The self damage buff remains unchanged. "
