Mage Glyphs

Glyphs
Frostbolt - The glyph is a flat 5% multiplier on top of everything. The coefficient does not change. Frostbolt continues to proc Frostbite and Fingers.
Water Elemental - The -30 seconds are applies before talents. The cooldown is 2:00 when glyphed and talented.
Mana Gem - The Glyph stacks with Serpent-Coil Braid. And with 2/5 T7 I think, not certain though.

Glyphs at 70
You have 2 Major Glyph slots at level 70. There are only a few useful Major Glyphs that do not require Northrend herbs.
Arcane Power, Improved Scorch and Mage Armour are the only raid relevant glyphs at level 70. Maybe Mana Gem as well.

Leveling Glyphs
Evocation and Frost Nova are nice Glyphs for leveling. At least I prefer an emergency heal and less freeze breaking over some straight damage modifiers
Deep Frost builds are the best leveling specs for that matter. You don't get your 3rd Major Glyph Slot until level 80.

Glyphs at 80
At 80 for raid DPS, you should Glyph your Armour, your main Nuke and you have one slot left.
That should go to Improved Scorch or Summon Water Elemental. If you're Arcane specced and always the second mage in a raid, you might also Glyph Arcane Power.
I'm not sure I'd recommend it though.

About Archmagus

Archmagus was created in 2006, when many of our friends were interested in the fine details about how to play a mage. Much of our time not playing WoW was spent researching and analyzing the nuances of spell rotation, gear selection, and overall fine-tuning of maximizing our Mage's performance.
