I've seen AB-FrBx2 suggested before as the dpm cycle. Just so that it is easier for people to compare things I'll add it to the spell info in Rawr.Mage.

Expanding the AB-FrBx2 into the full cycle will give you better AB spam tradeoff. For the typical ~T6 level arcane/frost mage I'm getting 3.23 dpm tradeoff for AB-FrBx2 compared to 3.11 dpm on equivalent expanded cycle (AB-FrB)x3+FrB. Adding the 2 extra AB-FrB should always improve your AB spam tradeoff I believe. I came to similar conclusions for deep arcane comparing partial and full AB cycles. The only time where it's optimal to use partial cycles is when using the full cycle for full fight would run you oom without even doing AB spam.
