Two frost mages can keep a large group of people frozen indefinitely. It'd be scary to imagine what 3 or 4 could do.

Assuming fear bombs don't exist however.
How do you keep them frozen with diminishing returns?
By "indefinitely" meant "as long as it takes for you to actually kill them". Usually a pet frost nova and a regular frost nova is enough, add in a couple sheeps here and there if you need additional CC.

But yes, more than 3 or 4 frost mages is redundant. I think the general rule is 2 box is frost mages, 4-5 box fire or arcane/fire, and 3 box would probably work either way?

Anyway, if you insist against fire, remember there is 40/0/21 with shatter. My 70 mage with almost 1200 spell damage can pull off a 6.5k frostbolt and 3.5k ice lance shatter combo with arcane power and trinket. When he's actually specced for it, but for raiding I use 40/0/21 arcane blast spam without shatter.

If I had 4 mages, I would make 2 frost and the other 2 arcane/frost.
