Stat Outline
Critical Strike - increase our crit chance with our abilities (extremely effective inside the Touch of the Magi / Radiant Spark window.
Mastery - we want to get around 27-30% mastery to get a good mana regeneration mid-combat. It also increases our mana regeneration, our mana pool, and arcane damage.
Haste - provides us with faster cast speed. However, too much haste can cause mana problems.
Versatility - damage and healing increase, and damage taken is reduced.
The best way to calculate stat priorities for your character is to "sim" your character

I recommend Human/Night elf/Dwarf/Void elf for alliance. They are all reasonably close, so choose whatever you like.

For horde, I recommend - Troll/Orc.
