Firstly the class is all about fast damage, which means *finally* the broken Frost spec is finished. It's about time really as this is nothing to do with mages and being fast damage dealers, its all about Fire and Arcane both of which is shockingly good compared to other classes.
As a 46/15 Arcane/Fire mage, PvP is fun and rewarding and PvE is top of the pops using Fireball to achieve top damage. In small groups (i.e. Heroics) the Arcane damage destroys the mobs in the way, Arcane Blast spam and Arcane Missiles are utterly destructive. In those events you are double Warlock Damage (instead of 20% over in Raids) and utterly trivialising the instances.
Yet all the newbs seem to hate the mage class. Despite all the power that is in place, the utterly destructive way we are designed. But then, if they are old school frsoty avoid skill with Ice Block, you can't really be surprised.
