Anyone working on a 6.2 guide?

As above really.
I've been keeping track of snippets here and there, but not enough to know how rotations have been affected.

Dutchmagoz stated that he would update his guide in the future. As for shang, i dont know.

If i'm not mistaken rotations are not significantly altered with the exception that you burn deeper with the mage trinket ?

Additionally gear priority alters a bit when you acquire 2P T18

Ah that's good to know as I'd read them in the other threads on here.
Now just to get through this fricking Error 112 so I can actually play :evil:

Only if you intend to go SN/ PC but this tier is the tier that many mages Predicted that UM/ OP or SN / OP would beat out other playstyles. That being said stat prior is different now Mast > Multi > Haste=> Crit for SN/ PC and Mast = Haste > Multi > Crit for UM/ OP.

I've only seen stat scaling with tier pieces not talents.

Can someone explain to my suddenly multistrike is so good for Arcane? I see no synergy with any of our spells or talents.

Unless otherwise stated, the stats scaling will always be listed for the top performing talent combination and BiS gear and the sim conditions are just about always done for single target, patchwork fights of 450 seconds (7:30 fight).

This is why we always say it is best to sim your self for exact numbers as your gear or talent selection may be different to what was used in the top performing profile or fight conditions may mean other talents perform better. E.g. While haste is important for Arcane in T18 due to set bonuses, traditionally Haste has always been valued more highly in high movement fights because it will mean less casts will be interrupted due to movement or if you do have to move, you are able to recover quicker.

Your tier pets have a 30% chance to spawn from Arcane Missiles which in turn have a 30% chance to proc from your damaging spells. More multi strikes mean more chances for these events to occur.

Unless something has changed, Multistrikes do not proc Missiles, and Missile Multistrikes do not proc T18 2PC.

To my knowledge, Multistrike is valuable in the BiS profile because of the synergy with the Arcane class trinket—we're getting off more Blasts than ever, although more at lower mana levels, and they hit for harder, making their multi strikes far more potent and frequent.

No. MS events do not summon pets. It's just that everything got bumped up (MS/Crit/Haste) while mastery didn't due to the pets; so relative to all the other stats it looks worse now.

This, along with pets inheriting our multistrike but not our mastery.

Mastery itself was also nerfed, which works to bring everything else up.

This is true. I'm currently extremely busy though, so I had to postpone it a bit. HOPEFULLY I'll get it done this weekend.

I swear I'll do it too at some point soon. Work + finishing my Master's thesis + actually playing WoW doesn't leave me much time for extra projects.
