Frost build can work.  You will have to be more patient.  Fire and arcane do more damage so they kill faster.  Frost also seems to be less cookie cutter if you, like me, like to do things a little different than the masses.  I love my frost mage.  I find myself drawn back to play him all the time, even with the frustrations I am feeling with WoW in general.  If you want to give frost a run, it only costs a little gold to respec if you aren't happy with it.

Actually, with an investment in the frost tree, frost spells do more sustained DPS than arcane. A heavy fire or frost spec'd mage will outdamage a heavy arcane spec'd one in standard solo combat.
