My level 60 frost mage's frost talents spec, with 2 talent points unassigned as yet:
Improved Frostbolt rank 5/5
Winter's Chill rank 3/3
Improved Frost Nova rank 2/2
Ice Shards rank 5/5
Arctic Reach rank 1/2--2/2 is good though
Piercing Ice rank 2/3--3/3 is good though
Shatter rank 5/5
Improved Blizzard rank 3/3
Frostbite rank 5/5--Because of this talent and shatter I kill with frost bolts only not infrequently.
Iceblock
Ice Barrier rank 1/1--I do not like this talent. If and when I respec, I will get rid of it. Either you don't need the barrier and everything is fine, or when you do need it, it is inadequate to rely on. Big bad level 60 mobs hit hard, and ice barrier won't help you much. Don't bother with it.
I don't have Cold Snap. The only spell you need it for is frost nova; it could be useful in an emergency. I'd skip it if you have some fire talent you really need the point for.
