Original Post:

I know that this comes down to a wishlist in regards to changes to raiding as a frost mage and is only relevant in tems of what is possible, but I would appreciate any views on these ideas, especially Lhivera who has done so much in keeping this issue alive.

Changes to talents:

Cold As Ice
Reduces the cooldown of your Cold Snap, Ice Barrier and Summon Water Elemental spells, and your Water Elemental's Ice Storm spell by 10/20%

Enduring Winter
Reduces the pushback suffered from damaging attacks when casting frost spells by 25/50/70% when your water elemental is active and your Frostbolt spell has a 33/66/100% chance to grant the Replenishment effect to up to 10 party or raid members mana regeneration equal to 0.25% of their maximum mana per second for 15 seconds. This effect cannot occur more often than once every 6 sec.

Brain Freeze
Gives your Frostbolt a 40% chance, and your other spells with a chilling effect a 15% chance to cause your next Fireball or Frostfire Bolt spell to be instant cast and cost no mana. Any Frostfire Bolt cast through Brain Freeze will have no slowing effect.

Deep Freeze
Deals 1740 frost damage to targets permanently immune to stuns. Additionally, when Deep Freeze inflicts damage it causes the target to become afflicted with Penetrating Cold, dealing 1080 frost damage over 15 seconds.

Related glyphs
Glyph of Ice Lance
Your Ice Lance critical strikes have a 50% chance to refresh the duration of your Penetrating Cold on the target.

Glyph of Penetrating Cold
The periodic damage from Penetrating Cold can now critically strike.

New Water Elemental Spell

Ice Storm CD: 3 minutes
Consumes a Penetrating Cold effect on the enemy target causing your and your pet's Frost spells to deal 15% more damage for 15 sec.

Of course, with Cata coming and the radical changes to talent trees, this is all probably wasted brainstorming. I also recognise that it is highly unlikely that any Blizz developers read these forums, but they certainly don't read the EU ones. I would have liked to present these ideas in the US PVE Frost 3.3 Analysis thread but don't have access.
