Fire mage glyph guide just went up. Gotta say, I'm really disappointed in blizzard for them ruining fireball like they did. I mean, I thought at first maybe it was meant for pvp use since its cast time is slightly better than ffb, but it doesn't have a burn making it not benefit from flashburn mastery and it won't help fight stealthers, not to mention the damage isn't as high either, so i ask again, what were you thinking blizzard? Oh well not my game :p.
You could also argue glyph of mage armor could be helpful if thats your style, but since I took the 100% mana reduction of scorch, putting mage armor up to get mana back is slightly devalued, and i'd much rather have more crit chance since that will simultaneously up dps not only through more crits, but increasing chance to cause ignite, and it better mana longevity due to the master of elements talent. Double utility, what does it mean?!
I also find it slightly annoying at the lack of really effective major glyph across the board for most classes, mages have some good arcane ones, and even frost isn't all too bad especially for pvp, but looking at fire, 1 sec of extra slow debuff, 3 seconds off a cooldown you may not use every fight, not exactly the most appealing or competitive with other specs on pve or pvp basis. Honestly, if you don't like my major suggestions for fire, look at perhaps glyph of frost nova as it no longer shares a cd with blast wave, I can see that as a completely viable choice as well.
