++---Updated---++
Added some new things
Corected something
Calculated some
Added a talent specc
And some more choices of gear
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For a lvl 60 End-Game mage this is prolly the best gear available currently in the game and I have added some different kinds of gear + a talent specc to go with it.
I will also include the Netherwind Regalia 8/8 to compare with.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The set gives these bonuses as more pieces are worn:
Netherwind Regalia:
3: Reduces the threat generated by your Arcane Missiles, Fireball, and Frostbolt spells.
5: Increases the radius of Flamestrike and Blizzard by 25%.
8: 10% chance after casting Arcane Missiles, Fireball, or Frostbolt that your next spell with a casting time under 10 seconds cast instantly.
(Though I most add 8/8 Netherwind is a nice set for some burst fire considering the 8/8 set bonus)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1% = 10 damage, roughly and 10 Damage = 8.2 Damage for a frostbolt, because of the 3sec casting time. (Talents doesn't change anything)
+Spell damage affect on different spells:
Frostbolt: 0.814
Blizzard: 0.333
Cone of Cold: 0.136
Frost Nova: 0.136
Pyroblast: 1
Fireball: 1
Fireblast: 0.429
Scorch: 0.429
Flamestrike: 0.285
Blastwave: 0.136
Arcane Missiles: 1
Arcane Explosion: 0.143

There is alot to choose from and some are harder to get then others, but this is prolly the best damage gear you can get atm, so it's worth the time.
My personal Choice of raw brute +damage gear:
Head: The Hexxer's Cover - +41 Damage
Cloak: Cloak of the Brood Lord - +28 Damage
Shoulder: Mantle of the Blackwing Cabal - +34 Damage
Chest: Jade Inlaid Vestments - +44 Damage
Wrist: Black Bark Wristbands - +25 Damage
Hands: Gloves of Delusional Power - +27 Damage, 5 mana every 5 sec
Waist: Firemaw's Clutch - +35 Damage, 5 mana every 5 sec
Pants: Flarecore Leggings - +43 Damage
Boots: Ringo's Blizzard Boots - +40 Frost Damage, 1% to hit
Neck: Choker of the Fire Lord - +34 Damage
Finger: Ring of Spell Power - +33 Damage
Finger: Mindtear Band - +22 Damage, 1% to crit
Trinket: Neltharion's Tear - +44 Damage, 2% to hit
Trinket: Briarwood Reed - +29 Damage
Weapon: Staff of the Shadow Flame - +80 Damage, 2% to crit
OR
Weapon: Claw of Chromaguus - +64 Damage, 4 mana every 5 sec
+
Held in Hand: Master Dragonslayer's Orb - +28 Damage
Wand: Cold Snap - +20 Damage
In Total that is = 591+ spell damage
And this is Without the Spell Power Enchant (+30 Damage), the ZG Enchant x2 ( 18+Damage + 1% to hit) AND without the +6% damage bonus from the Frost talent tree + the 3% Damage bonus from Arcaneinstability = 9%.
So with the enchants and the 9% damage we get a total +Damage of: (591 + (18*2) + 30) * 1.09 = 716.13 * 0.82 = 587.23
A normal frostbolt with the +6% damage bonus from the Frost talent tree + the 3% Damage bonus from Arcaneinstability hits a maximum of 517. So 517 + 587.23 = 1104
A Crit = 1104 * 2 = 2208,45 - now this is the maximal crit you can do with this +damage gear and it is alot!
But if you get this Gear you better now how to control your aggro otherwise alot of people is gonna be pissed when you get too much aggro from nukeing those Frostbolts and wipes the raid !
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My personal End-game choice of gear:
1&2, Head: Mish'undare, Circlet of the Mind Flayer - +35 Damage, 2% to crit
1, Cloak: Cloak of Consumption - + 23 Damage 1% chance to hit
2, Cloak: Cloak of the Brood Lord - +28 Damage
1&2, Shoulder: Mantle of the Blackwing Cabal - +34 Damage
1&2, Chest: Jade Inlaid Vestments - +44 Damage
1&2, Wrist: Bracers of Arcane Accuracy - +21 Damage, 1% to hit
1&2, Hands: Netherwind Gloves - +15 damage, 1% to hit
1, Waist: Mana Igniting Cord - +25 Damage, 1% to crit
2, Waist: Firemaw's Clutch - +35 Damage, 5 mana every 5 sec
1&2, Pants: Netherwind Pants - +30 Damage
1&2, Boots: Ringo's Blizzard Boots - +40 Frost Damage, 1% to hit
1&2, Neck: Choker of the Fire Lord - +34 Damage
1&2, Finger: Mindtear Band -+22 Damage, 1% crit
1&2, Finger: Band of Forced Concentration - +21 Damage, 1% to hit
1&2, Trinket: Neltharion's Tear - +44 Damage, 2% to hit
1&2, Trinket: Briarwood Reed - +28 Damage
(I want to switch between these trinkets for different situations: The 2 first for steady DPS at boss fights and the 2 lasts for some serious burst fire, PVP)
1&2, Trinket: Talisman of Ephemeral Power - +175 Damage for 15sec
1&2, Trinket:Zandalarian Hero Charm - +280 Damage for 20 seconds
1, Weapon: Claw of Chromaguus - +64 Damage, 4 mana every 5 sec
2, Weapon: Staff of the Shadow Flame - +80 Damage, 2% to crit
1, Held in Hand: Master Dragonslayer's Orb - +28 Damage
1&2, Wand: Cold Snap - +20 Damage
1. Sums up at = 528 +damage - 9% chance to hit - 4% chance to crit.
(528 + (18*2) + 30) * 1.09 = 647.46 * 0.82 = 530.91 + 517 = 1047.91 * 2 = 2095.82
2. Sums up at = 531 + damage - 8% chance to hit - 5% chance to crit
(531 + (18*2) + 30) * 1.09 = 650.73 * 0.82 = 533,59 + 517 = 1050.59 * 2 = 2101.18
But it is your own choice what you want, i'm just giveing you a couple of ideas.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Netherwind Regalia:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The set gives these bonuses as more pieces are worn:
Netherwind Regalia:
3: Reduces the threat generated by your Arcane Missiles, Fireball, and Frostbolt spells.
5: Increases the radius of Flamestrike and Blizzard by 25%.
8: 10% chance after casting Arcane Missiles, Fireball, or Frostbolt that your next spell with a casting time under 10 seconds cast instantly.
(Though I most add 8/8 Netherwind is a nice set for some burst fire considering the 8/8 set bonus)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Gear:

Netherwind Mantle - +14 Damage, 4 mana every 5 sec

Staff of the Shadow Flame - +80 Damage, 2% to crit
Cold Snap - +20 Damage
Sums up at = 426 +spell damage - 5% chance to hit - 5% chance to crit.
(426 + (18*2) + 30) * 1.09 = 536.28 * 0.82 = 439.75+ 517 = 956.75 * 2 = 1913.5
I guess this should be enough guideness for you to decide what gear you want
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Talent Specc i'm using for this Guide:
( But any specc with: Arcane Instability +3% and Piercing ice +6% will do, though I'm tempted to try Arcane power (+ ZHC + ToEP = +28o + 175 + 35% damage))
Class: Mage
Level: 60
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Arcane Talents (28 points)
Improved Arcane Missiles - 5/5 points
Gives you a 100% chance to avoid interruption caused by damage while channeling Arcane Missiles.
Arcane Focus - 5/5 points

Evocation - 1/1 point
While channeling this spell, your mana regeneration is active and increased by 1500%. Lasts 8 seconds.
Improved Arcane Explosion - 5/5 points

Ice Block - 1/1 point
You become encased in a block of ice, protecting you from all physical attacks and spells for 10 seconds, but during that time you cannot attack, move, or cast spells.
It gives me the full damage potential of +9%, (Arcane instability & Piercing Ice) -
Ice Shards for 100% critical damage bonus -
Arctic Reach for 20% increased range -
Ice Blok to save my ass -
Cold snap, so Ice Blok can save my ass twice -

There is alot to choose from and some are harder to get then others, but this is prolly the best damage gear you can get atm, so it's worth the time.
My personal Choice of raw brute +damage gear:
Head: The Hexxer's Cover - +41 Damage
Cloak: Cloak of the Brood Lord - +28 Damage
Shoulder: Mantle of the Blackwing Cabal - +34 Damage
Chest: Jade Inlaid Vestments - +44 Damage
Wrist: Black Bark Wristbands - +25 Damage
Hands: Gloves of Delusional Power - +27 Damage, 5 mana every 5 sec
Waist: Firemaw's Clutch - +35 Damage, 5 mana every 5 sec
Pants: Flarecore Leggings - +43 Damage
Boots: Ringo's Blizzard Boots - +40 Frost Damage, 1% to hit
Neck: Choker of the Fire Lord - +34 Damage
Finger: Ring of Spell Power - +33 Damage
Finger: Mindtear Band - +22 Damage, 1% to crit
Trinket: Neltharion's Tear - +44 Damage, 2% to hit
Trinket: Briarwood Reed - +29 Damage
Weapon: Staff of the Shadow Flame - +80 Damage, 2% to crit
OR
Weapon: Claw of Chromaguus - +64 Damage, 4 mana every 5 sec
+
Held in Hand: Master Dragonslayer's Orb - +28 Damage
Wand: Cold Snap - +20 Damage
In Total that is = 591+ spell damage
And this is Without the Spell Power Enchant (+30 Damage), the ZG Enchant x2 ( 18+Damage + 1% to hit) AND without the +6% damage bonus from the Frost talent tree + the 3% Damage bonus from Arcaneinstability = 9%.
So with the enchants and the 9% damage we get a total +Damage of: (591 + (18*2) + 30) * 1.09 = 716.13 * 0.82 = 587.23
A normal frostbolt with the +6% damage bonus from the Frost talent tree + the 3% Damage bonus from Arcaneinstability hits a maximum of 517. So 517 + 587.23 = 1104
A Crit = 1104 * 2 = 2208,45 - now this is the maximal crit you can do with this +damage gear and it is alot!
But if you get this Gear you better now how to control your aggro otherwise alot of people is gonna be pissed when you get too much aggro from nukeing those Frostbolts and wipes the raid !

1. Sums up at = 528 +damage - 9% chance to hit - 4% chance to crit.
(528 + (18*2) + 30) * 1.09 = 647.46 * 0.82 = 530.91 + 517 = 1047.91 * 2 = 2095.82
2. Sums up at = 531 + damage - 8% chance to hit - 5% chance to crit
(531 + (18*2) + 30) * 1.09 = 650.73 * 0.82 = 533,59 + 517 = 1050.59 * 2 = 2101.18
But it is your own choice what you want, i'm just giveing you a couple of ideas.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Netherwind Regalia:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The set gives these bonuses as more pieces are worn:
Netherwind Regalia:
3: Reduces the threat generated by your Arcane Missiles, Fireball, and Frostbolt spells.
5: Increases the radius of Flamestrike and Blizzard by 25%.
8: 10% chance after casting Arcane Missiles, Fireball, or Frostbolt that your next spell with a casting time under 10 seconds cast instantly.
(Though I most add 8/8 Netherwind is a nice set for some burst fire considering the 8/8 set bonus)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Gear:
Netherwind Crown - +26 Damage
Netherwind Mantle - +14 Damage, 4 mana every 5 sec
Netherwind Robe - +19 damage, 1% to crit
Netherwind Pants - +30 Damage

Staff of the Shadow Flame - +80 Damage, 2% to crit
Cold Snap - +20 Damage
Sums up at = 426 +spell damage - 5% chance to hit - 5% chance to crit.
(426 + (18*2) + 30) * 1.09 = 536.28 * 0.82 = 439.75+ 517 = 956.75 * 2 = 1913.5
I guess this should be enough guideness for you to decide what gear you want
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Talent Specc i'm using for this Guide:
