Erm, you've missed a few changes if you think that frostbolt is the most efficient nuke. Scorch is already more efficient, and thanks to the current Fire talents, Fireball becomes more efficient than frostbolt in the expansion.

40 arc / 21 frost builds perplex me. You don't have the sustained DPs of a fire mage, you don't have the snares and defenses of a frost mage. A fire mage is going to be dealing more damage than you on a fight, a frost mage is going to be slowing far far better than you can. Also, BTW, Molten fury means that Fire is capable of the highst burst potential sub 20%. Nothing is going to come close to fireball spamming at that point, especially with all the crit talents that fire has and the mana efficiency it's picking up along the way.

It was a good build for Molten core and BWL, but tbh arcane / frost really hasn't offered much in AQ40 or Naxx as far as we (my guild) has seen.
