Also regarding your rotation, do you know it?
In case you don't..
It's ABx3>MBarr>ABarr, rinse and repeat.
AB=Arcane Blast
MBarr=Missile Barrage
Abarr=Arcane Barrage
Hope I've helped man, did the best I could to explain things. A bit rusty on Arcane because my main raiding spec for my Mage is Fire :P
Well, your rotation is a tad outdated though. Casting ABarr after a Mbarr is not recommended as it no longer clips, hence not benefiting from the AB buff.
It should either be
ABx3 > AM if MBarr procs, or ABarr
or
ABx3 > AM, regardless if Mbarr procs.
Arcane mage's tend to go for Crit as their priority talent, yes.
I'm still trying to get my head around this, personally. Haste scales much, much better for Arcane mages than Crit ever will. Sure, Crit is never wasted, but with the spec recieving the lowest +dmg modifier for critical strikes, it's not quite as good as it seems.
You are correct, Arcane mages look for Haste over Crit.

You don't gem all haste though, that's the thing.
You should be gemming SP over Haste, lest anything else.
My suggestion would be to gem Haste in all yellow slots, SP in all other slots. And get Ember Skyflare over Chaotic, the SP and Intell are better for Arcane than the crit.

You should actually be gemming for SP, regardless. (unless you're trying to go for the metagem). Socket bonuses are not worth it over the extra SP.
The Haste > Crit comment was regarding choosing gear.
