I have to disagree. My mage friend is very excited about this review. They have freed up a ton of talent points so mages can be more versatile and go for more +damage abilities. They have added Master of Elements, which allows elemental builds to survive without arcane's mana efficiency. And they added a bunch more mana regeneration and +crit to arcane for those who choose to stay there.
One impressive number is that now a mage could have a constant 50-60% mana regeneration while casting, due to Mage Armor, the talent, and 30% of all elemental casts being refunded.
