To be able to pull fire off you need crazy high crit, something like 38-40% unbuffed. The only reason you can pull off Arcane at sub 565 is with the heroic t15 4 piece set bonus, it's insanely powerful, stronger than normal mode t16. Ideally you could start going fire in the early 550s if you had the perfect gear, the great thing about frost is it doesn't require much gear to pull good numbers, however, it scales like shit. On top of the scaling issues frost has, the set bonus of t16 is horrible.
I currently have 4 piece t16 and still can't pull off better numbers going fire than I can frost. I'll go fire once I replace a few key items with something itemized better for fire. Even then, frost is still going to compete pretty well until I get further into heroics, frost is pretty much idiot proof and doesn't rely nearly as much on RNG as fire does. But fire is so much more enjoyable to play.
