Frost Mage build

Depending on if this mage is PvP or not, you might need imp. arcane explosion and perhaps imp counterspell too.

This what I would my build likely be.

With your build you dont need the + to seconds on your snares, frostbite and icebolt slow should do the trick.

For PvP'ing purposes, you have to try maxing your burst damage.

A good template to do it is this: http://www.wowhead.com/talent/?RVxxdrzjoZxxrobh

If you're more PvE-oriented, a very good build is this: http://www.wowhead.com/talent/?R0xxtMZZxxfofxsd

This maxes mana efficiency and allows you to have still a good damage output, together with some useful defensive abilities (Ice block, Ice barrier).
