Yes, Mirror Image indeed only mask your threat for spell duration, your aggro is always there.
If you managed to draw aggro from tank (which is really hard as arcane with proper tank, in raid situation) Invisibility is the only real aggro reset CD. Ice Block doesnt reset aggro aswell.
MI frostbolt damage scales with current SP, so basically you 'd want to put MI in /macro after your SP modificators. But actually it isnt That dps increase to even consider.

That is the reason I pull out every CD including MI at the start of every boss-pull.
You can start by going all out and still give the tank a chance to gain some threat. Since the longest CD is 3 mins, they usually wear off just time for a BL/Heroism.
You should only consider MI a DPS gain due to the fact that for a short time you don't have to worry at all about threat. And as Fyuu said, with a proper tank, that's really only an issue the first 10 seconds of a fight.

Q: Would I be inaccurate in my assumption that opening up with MI on bosses and large AoE pulls, that may result in an aggro pull, is the best situations to use it in?
Thats a correct assumption. Mages never considered MI as dps boost, its very useful tool for managing your aggro. Situation changed though since T10 4p set bonus gives tasty 18% overall damage for 30 seconds after using MI.
