Dude. Just watched a 30 minute video on the optimum Frost Mage rotation. Good crap, that is complicated. Frost is sooo dependent on Fingers of Frost procs and Brain Freeze to determine if Frost Bolt, Frostfire Bolt, or Ice Lance is the best DPS at any point in time and any of those three spells are castable any time, so macroing this to be near optimal is impossible. The other major factor is that you want to cast your PET's TARGETED AOE spell Freeze every time it is off cooldown (25 s) to do good damage. What a pita.

The other thing is that with my arcane macros my mages do 2nd-best damage in my group (just behind my locks), so I don't have a need to mix things up. I was going to spend some time trying to optimize things for frost, but for now, I'll trust that you have done your homework and just post your macro in the compendium. Thanks for sharing.

Frost does seem to be a pita atm and my macros are not super optimized but I can tell you that a 3x frostbolt 1x frostfire bolt seems to work pretty well. I will read up on when to icelance. I haven't touched the pet ability yet and if I have to manage that as well then it might be time for me to spec arcane. We have other forms of replenishment in raid and so frost would only be nice for my 5-man.
