Question on Mage Spell Rotations

Mage Spell Rotations to Maximise Damage
Wondering if some veteran mages can share how they rotate their spells. Cos I dont think I'm using enough mp in dungeons bit worried that I'm not doing it right..

Need some recommendations tuned towards PVE
For grinding n dungeons (small group pulls n bosses).

Grind Single Targets
(Fire Bomb x2 + Lightning Bolt)

Grind Aoe
(H3ll Fire + Snow Storm + Lightning Web) (Not a fan cos need to rest regularly cos Dimensional Jump is spastic -.-)

Dungeon small group pulls in dungeons
(H3ll Fire and Snow Storm) (Not sure)

Dungeon Bosses
(Resistance Collapse > Winter Chill x3 > H3ll Fire > Magic Boost > Fire Bomb + Maintain Winter Chill)

Heard Extreme Magic is more for PVP?
Is Resistance Collapse in your rotation against bosses? Pretty sure it is?
Elemental Guardian and Ice Shield for PVE? Or not really? Worth investing points?
Guess the tank might appreciate Elemental Guardian. Or not really?

Learn how to Cancel Animation.. Helps I guess?

Hello. I don't think this will be able to help, but this is my rotation. XD

Grind Single Targets (I don't really do this much..)
Fire Bomb-Lightning Bomb-Fire Bomb

Grind Aoe
Snow Storm-H3ll Fire-Snow Storm-Snow Storm/Lightning Web
[SS mobs, HF when they're rooted, start casting SS again right in front of you]

Dungeon small group pulls in dungeons
Snow Storm to infinity~
[I find that it kills faster, or at least you can't utilize 12sec. duration of HF to its potential, especially when there are other DPS in party...HF when there are beefmobs mixed in..]

Dungeon Single-Target (with lotta HP.)
...same as Dungeon Bosses formula.


Dungeon Bosses
(Resistance Collapse > Winter Chill x3 > H3ll Fire > Magic Boost > Fire Bomb + Maintain Winter Chill) I'vent tried this.. o_o I don't really count on RC&EG, never LV'ed 'em up, I always thought they'd be more useful in PvP... >_<

Mine is: [Winter Chill x3 - Lightning Bolt - Fire Bomb - Lightning Bolt - Fire Bomb - Winter Chill - (Lightning Bolt+Fire Bomb)x2
[I usually count on stun and crits from this two spells (FB&LB), and could use both two times each before I really need to recast WC. Also helps on MP conservation if there's no Illu for me. +Extreme Magic if need to kill fast..)

Heard Extreme Magic is more for PVP? [Yes, I don't doubt that. Cast Speed + a lil' more power ftw. XD]
Is Resistance Collapse in your rotation against bosses? Pretty sure it is? [Not really, bu then again, never LV'ed it up. :/]
Elemental Guardian and Ice Shield for PVE? Or not really? Worth investing points? [I don't use EG either, but I keep Ice Shield when fighting field bosses and invasion mobs. I prefer using Magicians for invasion mobs. Cool ]
Guess the tank might appreciate Elemental Guardian. Or not really? (I also play tank, but so far, I've never really had any single Magi cast this on me. That or I didn't notice. And so far, it was never a problem that there's no EG. Maybe with all appreciate it, but you may as well keep your CP. 8D )

Learn how to Cancel Animation.. Helps I guess?
Either I run or hit on ESC? o_o But never had to as a Magi...as a tank, you certainly would. o_o

[YES~ I'm a Crakshot mage myself. XD]

Usual rotation for me:

Winter Chill (x3 against big mobs) > lightning > fire bomb x2 > lightning > winter chill > fire bomb > lightning > fire bomb x2 > repeat
