And then you saw your mana pool, and got to wanding.
And counterspell me once as frost, and I blink behind you and rely on my 7k absorption or so from Ice Barrier to keep me up.
yeah.. the mana drain would be pretty hefty..
but uhm.. how are you absorbing 7k from ice barrier again? last i checked, glyphed it only gives you 4320 at max rank.

No Glyph
2000 spellpower
0.8067 coefficient
3300 shield
2000 x 0.8067 + 3300 = 4913
Glyphed
2000 spellpower
0.8067 coefficient + 30%
3300 shield +30%
2000 x (0.8067 x 1.3) + (3300 x 1.3) = 6387.

i'm still confused.. since when is ice barrier affected by your spell power?
ice barrier
.. that's max rank.. 3300 damage, static.. says nothing of a SP modifier.
glyph
. 30% more damage absorption.
3300 x 1.3 = 4290, i remembered the number wrong a few hours ago, but either way..
so where does this sp coefficient come into play? because mine has never changed the amount absorbed, regardless of how much SP i've had since I hit 80.

i'm still mind-f!#@%ed by the frost damage coefficient for ice barrier.. cause i'm pretty sure that the tooltip on my mage (in game i mean) for ice barrier says 4290..
i'll grant you i've never sat and actually counted how much damage it absorbs, but still.. it's weird.. hmm

You could get the DrDamage addon, which calculates the average damage dealt or absorbed on your tool bar, which includes Sp into it's calculations.

The spellpower coefficient penalty on Frostbolt for it's snare has been removed, increasing it's coefficient to 90% (100% with Empowered Frostbolt). Yaaay, stealth buffs! This is an undocumented change on the PTRs atm, and the official Mage forums is worried to death that it'll just be removed under excuse that it's a bug.

i... i... i don't know what to say.. i'm sick of my frostbolts hitting for such utter crap (about the same amount as an un-ABlast-buffed arcane barrage... ridiculous amirite?) and this could possibly make it.. -gasp-...
no... i don't wanna get ahead of myself.. blizz will somehow find a way to mess this up (as you mentioned, under the pretense of a "bug")

What's cool is that after 3.2, with the cast time reduction on frostbolt, we don't need to stack as much haste to do DF->FB, ILx2 combos.
Not to mention each frostbolt will be hitting for 300-400 more damage
