I only really pvp seriously in my 3v3 team, we hover around 2200 rating so I would say we are relatively succesful. I pvp with my pve build, 10 arc 48 fire 3 frost and it works out really well. Our usual setup is an arc/frost mage, healpriest and me, dragons breath and blastwave is amazing when timed correctly. I often die first, but rarely without having killed one and caused severe damage to the other team.
I have 89xx something health 143 resillience and just around 800 spell dmg in pvp gear. The burst I can put out when I always have combustion to begin with is very effective. I think the key thing is to not forget your role as a mage in pvp, and that's regardless of your spec. Mages have alot of skills to control the situation, and while a mage in iceblock might get saved he really ain't doing much. This only really counts for 3v3 where I have found fire to be really great (impact, blazing speed, dragons breath, burst dmg) in 5v5 I don't think I would ever play unless I could somehow have a pve spec that had iceblock too.
