Arcane Mage Stat Priority
Versatility > Haste > Mastery > Crit
You want to focus on getting as much Versatility as possible. Aim to get at least 30%. This will eventually happen through PvP gearing as most of your items will have Vers on them.
Then you should prioritize Haste above all else. You will have to cast a lot, and having as much Haste as possible will help you make it easier.

Best Arcane Mage Trinkets
Insignia of Alacrity / Gladiator’s Emblem
Gladiator’s Medallion
Your ideal trinkets will be Medallion for a CC breaker and Insignia, since it provides static Haste. You can swap Insignia for Emblem for another defensive option if you are struggling to survive into heavy CC match-ups such as Thug Cleave and Sub RMP.
Best Arcane Mage Enchants
Cloak: Homebound Speed
Chest: Waking Stats
Bracers: Devotion of Speed
Legs: Frozen Spellthread
Boots: Plainsrunner’s Breeze
Rings: Devotion of Haste

Best Arcane Mage Gems
Energized Malygite + Fierce Illimited Diamond
Since you should get 30% Versatility through gear, your gems will serve as a source of additional Haste. If you are below 30% Vers, however, definitely gem to make up for it. You will be using Tiered Medallion Setting to get an additional gem slot in your Neck.
