Quote:I would go more with 2/48/11. With only 11pts, you really cannot make a good frostbolt and Arcane Blast is still a nice spell as long as you don't spam it (it still might be my opener if a unlucky scorch crit would pull aggro from a tank that caught an opening miss. Wiping a raid is always a bad idea). The 3 pts in Ice Shards could equally end up in Frost Bite or Permafrost. With the mage rarely casting frostbolt a chill effect won't ever really happen. Thus Ice Shards might be the best for a Frost Nova/Ice Lance combo. But in my days as a frost mage Permafrost with rank 1 frostbolt/Cone really helps with the timing on kiting (2x elite kiting is great practice to keep skills sharp). Also Frost Bite might be interesting with Ice Armor in PvP. In summary, you have 5 junk points and I believe utility, even if it is very very limited, might be more interesting. Otherwise you have my new build.
5 points in Imp Frostbolt is utility in my mind -- 1 sec R1 Frostbolts for kiting, yes, please!
Though I see the point about Permafrost... 2/3 Permafrost might be better than 2/2 Frost Nova.
