I haven't spec'd far enough into ice to get the juicy talents for grinding, but looking at the numbers, it appears that the advantage of ice is crazy mana efficiency, reducing downtime a lot.
So it appears that the counterweight to this is difficulty killing higher con mobs.
Of course, you could spec 5 points into IAM for backup, but that's the spell with the lowest mana efficiency.
Fire is where my talent points went primarily when I respeced. It feels similar to arcane in killing ability, with higher DPS and mana efficiency. You just can't get Presence of Mind, which is a great spell, but I think I like combusted pyroblasts more. :)
