In order to achieve some semblance of balance between Mage specs in PvE content, in addition to the tuning notes posted above, you need to:
Aura buff Fire by 10%
Aura nerf Arcane by 10%
On topic of Living Bomb, while it has likely reached the desired AoE throughput when fully invested into it, single target output remains practically non-existent.
The easy way to address this is to buff the Convection talent to around 500% (five hundred percent) increased effectiveness when bomb is applied to only one target.

In English : Nothing has changed or rather it’s even worse !!!
Unfortunately, no, it´s still so laugably bad that it´s more cosmetic than anything else. We still either go for either ignite cleave, or a flamestrile build for heavy AE , Living Bomb isn´t even on the map, for the 3rd expansion in a row I might add… It was fun to be able finally to run it again during prepatch, but it´s been gone again ever since release.
So essentially in practice fire got a 5% buff to pyroblast and that´s it, so like a 0.5 - 1% overall buff, on a class that was ~30% behind the median across all classes, unless the fight lasted 12 seconds or less. and the stacking pyroblast buff will only balance that out to “semi-average but still sub-par Dps” on a fight that lasts at least 3-4 minutes
After almost 20 years of maining fire and nothing else, through thick and thin, it looks like this will be the first raid tier where I don´t play mage at all because I despise playing arcane and always have, and don´t want to gimp my guild’s chances by doing less damage than the holy priests.
2 weeks of preparation basically down the drain, just to now switch classes 1 week before heroic and have to go full sweatlord to hopefully gear up in time… Doesn´t feel good at all…
