fixed for ya.Frostfire isn't worth mentioning at this point with the way they've screwed with crit. Until that's fixed it can stay off the list and we're back to a gimmick spell, and 3 primary specs.

Does that account for the Dual spec abuse?

dual spec abuse was hotfixed the week after patch 3.1.. it's a nonissue anymore.
Not quite so fast.
Per all the spreadsheet work I've done I'm showing FFB as clearly superior to Arcane (which is barely viable with hardmode gear compared to deep fire)
so BiS gear for frostfire is gonna put you ahead of BiS gear for arcane now?
does that have something to do the fact that rawr lists 2 pieces of t7.5 and 2 pieces of t8.5 as higher DPS than 4 pieces t8.5 for arcane?
wtf blizzard...

Personally aiming for bis for fire/ttw is a better choice.

I guess my question for frost mages is. Is it a dps increase to keep FFB up on all times? I have noticed that the DoT from FFB procs the 15% chance of the instant fireball.
So is it worth it to cast FFB just enough to keep the DoT up as much as possible to get more insta-Free fireaballs?
If you're a deep frost mage, I would say no. The extra time it takes to cast frostfire bolt over a frostbolt and the miniscule amount of damage the DoT does to anyone make it worthless. If you're a frost mage, just stick to slinging frostbolts.

Agreed.....I am still a 19/0/52 Mage running Heroics, and just started 10 mans. Recently, dual specced and am currently trying the FFB (may change tho).

While running the Frost Spec....on bosses....my usual rotation is....WE, IV, spamming Frostbolt (adding Ice Lance on the 2nd Frostbolt when FoF is proced) and the instacast Fireball when Brain Freeze procs, when IV is gone I pop Haste trinket (adding 256 Haste for 20 secs (which I can get about 14 Frostbolts off....a 1.4 sec cast time....with Crits as high as 9700 dam)......if needed, Cold Snap...pop WE again and back to spamming Frostbolt....
btw Mage Alert rocks for letting u know when u have FoF, BF, Hot Streak, etc procs....(is there an even better one?)
