World of Warcraft Mage Glyphs for Cataclysm covering Frost, Fire, and Arcane

Arcane Leveling Glyphs

Start first by getting the Arcane Blast Glyph (Prime) and then Arcane Missiles (Prime). My favorite Major Glyph for leveling is Blink, it has saved my life more than once and it could save yours. And of course, pick up the Slow Fall Glyph for your Minor (it is really the only Minor Glyph of use).
