Mage stat priority and dungeon loot priority

Arcane prioritizes Intellect and Spell Power, Fire favors Fire Damage, Spell Power, and Critical Strike, while Frost wants Frost Damage, Spell Power, and Intellect.

In dungeons, roll Need on clear caster upgrades for your current spec and Greed on off-spec gear. Give healing-focused items to healers when they benefit more from them.
