You have not run in the right areas yet with a group to see how a mages AoE should be used in an instance. They will not be 'freezing' a group of mobs, but rather using things like Flamstrike and Improved Arcane Explosion to generate fast mass kills. This is usually dependent on a priests Power Word: Shield to do effectively, but that is not always required in the lower level instances.
