Frost Bolt, Cone of Cold, Frost Ward, Ice Armor, Frost Armor, Frost Nova, Ice Lance, and Ice Barrier: The mana cost on these spells has been reduced by approximately 15%.
Aren't they already pretty cheap? The only mages that I know that go OOM in arena are arcane.
According to PVP-ers, it's a Arena buff.
Invisibility: Can no longer be interrupted by a hostile action or damage done during the 3-second Fade time, however an invisible mage can still be stunned or silenced.
PvE nerfed to some extent, PvP buffed. Mobs with AoE stuns will be able to hit us out of invisibility and players will just watch us fade away. (Although the only place I use invis in PvE is when we skip the trash on kolo's stairs in 10 man.)
How is this a nerf? It takes away nothing, and adds in something new.

I'd have to disagree that it's a pve nerf. All the other pure dps classes have very successful aggro dumps, except us. Making invisibility an uninterruptable fade means that when we accidently "oh sh@#" ourselves over the tank then it's not guaranteed that we'll die cause of it.

Well... CoC could definitely use the mana reduction... as frost it's absolutely horrible DPM (even with the improved coc talent, which almost no one takes anyway). Frostbolt didn't need it... the wards really didn't need it much.. Ice lance..... /shrug.. meh...
Empowered Frostbolt: Instead of increasing critical strike chance by 2/4%, this talent now reduces the cast time of Frostbolt by 0.1/0.2 seconds.
Permafrost: In addition to its existing effects, this talent now also causes the mage's Chill effects to reduce healing received by the victim by 7/13/20%.
It's like frost PvP heaven in here, and it's raining buffs. I personally PvP as arcane, but until we get a buff this large these changes are the incentive I need to pick up frost for my offspec.
i'd have to agree, but i wish they weren't taking the crit chance from empowered frostbolt. . The cast time reduction will still be nice, and the MS added to permafrost will be effing godly.. i can't wait.

Are we currently able to be stunned while invisible? I have no idea, I never use it outside of arena really. (arcane = threat win.)
Yeah, we can.
Invisibility works a bit like Rogue's Vanish. We can still be hit by AOE stuff.
