Is Mage mana such an issue on this fight that they can't ever use IV except during the last 20% with Bloodlust? That's the only reason I can think of not using it more than twice during the fight if you have the ability to.

This has been posted in the Mage theorycrafting thread, but basically the DPS you lose by giving up some fire talents is more than what you gain from Cold Snap. The only reason you'd want Cold Snap for this fight is to Ice Block out of multiple Burns, which has a low chance of occurring and is much less important than maximizing DPS.
