Mage PVP / BG

[dancook]

If you run 5 mage, tell me about it. BGs/Arena - tactics/setup.

I've been running AV @ 68/69 and it's been a blast!

I've got a cast sequence of Arcane Barrage, Ice Lance, Fireblast, AB, IL, IL, AB, IL, IL (trinkets+arcane power)
I have my normal DPS key to spam arcane blast, POM.

I have setup keys for firestrike and blizzard but don't use them (except for light shows)
I have a key setup for cone of cold, which I sometimes remember to use, then I have a frost nova/blink macro
I've never used polymorph in AV.. mostly I just cast my instants and almost 1 shot everything.

5 Mage great for protecting towers and balinda etc..

I've been thinking about frost mage, the tactic? freeze then spam ice lance? is it more effective than Arcane spec? How do you normally freeze? Water Elemental, Ice Bolt?

oh and any success in Arena?
