Hot Streak works fine. Current gear levels don't support it. Just like for ICC.
You double posted Fireball's mana change, fyi. ;P
Not sure why Deep Freeze damage had to take a nerf... :-\
Not paying 5k for the armor is nice, in case you need to armor dance. Firestarter change also has interesting uses for not ooming for early fire mages.

Frost
+
Deep Freeze damage done has been reduced by 20%.
+
Fingers of Frost can no longer be dispelled and now also increases Ice Lance damage by 15%.
+
Frost Specialization now only grants 2 base points of mastery (instead of 8), reducing all Frost damage to frozen targets by 15% from previous values. However, Frost Specialization now increases base Frostbolt damage by 15%.
*
Ring of Frost can now be cast, and works properly, on transports (this includes elevators, trapdoors, etc.).
Since Ice Lance is used more often, the Deep Freeze nerf should equal out with the Ice Lance buff making this a slight improvement.
So they're decreasing frozen damage and increasing Frostbolt damage. Depnding on how much of your DPS comes from Frostbolt compared to FoF procs, this could help or hurt your DPS.
(Just checked this agains a boss, 31% of my DPS was from Frostbolt compared to 24% from Ice Lance, so this should be a DPS increase.)
Ring of Frost thing sems to just be a bug fix.
I really like the spell cost decreases and the Firestarter change, hopefully I can get more damage uptime without Evocation and pots/mana gems in a Fire spec.
The Invisibility fix is nice, no more dismissing your pet to get out of combat.
EDIT: tested FB vs. IL

Ignite munching needs to be fixed. but then again, it needed to be fixed since vanilla.

It would be nice for the theorycrafting if they would fix ignite, but they've balanced around it so it seems unlikely that they'll fix it any time soon.

I hear what you're saying, it's all theoretical and the proof is in the pudding.
OMG - Why do people say this?
The correct phrase is - The proof of the pudding is in the eating!
Meaning that you can't judge how good something is until you sample it.
The proof is in the pudding just makes no sense at all.
Cheers.

its crazy that frost is 5k behind fire and arcane is down another 1.5K below frost in raids.
Why can't they balance this crap so that all specs are pretty close...THIS IS NOT CLOSE
kinda like sv hunters are #1 and BM hunters are last 12K difference ?
oh well as they have already told us we are having fun and should not use a brain cell to think for yourself.
Yep don't use a brain cell be just like buzzards top dogs.
