I thought a bit about how to create a frost wizard and came up with this one:

This has the same caveats as my Arcane Wizard -- this is for PvM hardcore mode and is only based on the skill descriptions.
In this case, I runed Ray of Frost with Cold Blood to make its Arcane Power cost equal 0. This makes it effectively a signature spell.
However, the key to this build is the Blizzard - Frost Nova - Meteor (Comet) combination. I figure you put down a Blizzard on a path where the mobs are coming to you, Frost Nova them in place, and then Comet them while they're stuck there, which also slows the mobs further and keeps them inside the Blizzard. Continue to Comet or Ray of Frost as needed.
However, it worries me that this build lacks Teleport. Perhaps Teleport could replace Ice Armor.
