If development of WoW were handled "we gave this class something so we have to give all the other classes something like it" the game would be unplayably bad.
1) Mana has always been a very significant issue for mages in both PvE and PvP. Mages were extremely dependent on shadow priests in the raiding game.
2) Iceblock from talent --> trained ability isn't going to change much. The good PvP mages will still be frost. The other builds will be a little less glass cannon, but will still lack PvP utility. Overall little to no impact on the PvE aspect of the game.
It's hard to be too negative about the changes, they really do fill significant holes. Unless, of course, you just like to whine for the sake of whining.
