How is frost less micromanagement? Fireball/Frostbolt/FFB specs all require micro with either Hot Streak of Brain Freeze. Frost has THREE cooldowns to use (Icy Veins, Water Elemental, Cold Snap) where FFB has two (Icy Veins and Combustion) and Fire has only one (Combustion.)

You should give Fire a shot .
Frost is Frostbolt at start until finish. You dont take that shitty talent to give you a free fire spell cast. Icey veins can be in your dps macro and cast with frostbolt and /use 13 /use 14. Your elemental and coldsnap is on the same button. Press it and your elemental comes out and fights for 1min. Press it 2 more times and your elemental comes out for another minute. You have 2 buttons to press for dps. 1 of them is just to summon your pet. I dont think it can get any easier. The dps is not horrible and it beats watching for procs.

What frost mage would want 8 points in fire? Fire is worthless especially the first talents for any frost build. You would be giving up 3% crit and 12% damage increase to snared targets. Frostbolt snares so thats 12% damage loss.
