A talent in the fire tree increases critical chance of AoE spells, It also lists blizzard. Can anyone from beta confirm or deny that blizzard will be able to crit?

Yes, Blizzard can crit.
So does the description state that x amount of damage will be done over y amount of time? Maybe the description says x amount of damage each second, which would be easier to figure.
Links please?

Thanks been hoping for it to change back since they changed it.

If I understand correctly, each wave's crit calculation is separate, much like Arcane Missile

Look under "Frost Abilities"

d) We'll be nerfed back to the Stone age before WotLK comes out. I'm expecting the next build to feature "New Mage spells: Throw Rock (11 point talent), Bone Smash (31 point talent) and Carve Picture on Cave Wall (51 point talent)".
Rofl!

There's a movie about someone (ab)using the new Arcane Potency
("Increases chance to critical hit while PoM or Clearcasting is active by 30%") and racking up huge crits on his Blizzard.
Since Blizzard is a channelled spell, it doesn't use up the PoM buff, so you get 30% crit rate until you actually use it.
If this doesn't get changed, Arcane is going to rock hard. Since channelled spells and instant casts don't use up the buff, you can cast Arcane Missiles, Arcane Explosion, Fireblast, Cone of Cold, Arcane Barrage and everything, with a permanent +30% crit rate!That sounds like the kind of thing beta tests are for :)

I wish this were possible. Instant casts DO use up PoM as used it then cast a fireblast and went to cast a pyroblast thinking it would be instant but started the casting bar.

Instant cast
do not
consume POM.
However, in the latest wotlk build, you will not be able to abuse Arcane Potency with POM. Now, Arcane Potency only applies to the next spell cast.
Finally.
