Well, instead of being GOOD at something, you're being average in two. I don't know, I don't really like hybrid spec, since they don't allow you to use your full potential.

Like in the Arcane tree, you have Slow, but you don't have Torment the Weak, wich is a 12% DPS loss.

You also don't have all the good talent that make Frostfire build this lovely. Like Hot Streak, Molten Fury, Critical Mass, Playing with Fire, and almost all Fire talents.

And you're missing out some good Frost DPS increase talents too. Let's face it, Frostfire is mostly PvE, and Arcane is PvP, there is no need to do an hybrid build between the two, since they are for two different purpose.

I tried to pull together a similar spec awhile back, hoping to get the utility of Arcane with a side of frostfire. But FFB requires too much from Fire and Frost to be its full potential, and Arcane requires too many points to get the good stuff. You just can't spread yourself that thin and expect to be particularly good in any one area of magery. :( But, I'm a firm believer of playing however makes you happy. If you KNOW you're lacking in certain areas, and you know WHY, and don't mind any of that, sally forth, good sir. :P
