They've turned one talent into a spell for mages so far -- Evocation. They've done so for other classes as well (druids, warriors, just to name a few).
You're going way overboard here. I'm not exactly a fan of the Ice Block change either, but saying that they "throw all kinds of talents to Mages for free" is just not true.
Conc, the gem change sounds pretty awesome. Rank 5 restores 1136-1364 mana, so on average it's doubled up. The gems are unique, so currently you have to use different ranks to have more gems, so it's a VERY significant change -- on average, ~100% extra mana on the first gem, ~120% on the second, and a whopping ~180% on the third. Very nice.
Didn't they change Arcane Explosion from talented instant to instant for all? There are others that are tickling the back of my memory but having not played my mage for quite some time its not something I've tracked.
