It's all about ice spec. It has far more survivability and crowd control abilities than fire. Also, while it's damage isn't as high as fire, it's mana efficiency is better, so it's good for leveling up, too. Every single one of The Core's hardcore PvP mages have switched to ice. Such a spec just gives you too many options in PvP not to get it.
