Arena talent guide for baby mages

Found this post on WoWInsider.com (actually this site became my favorite). Very good tips for mage who wants to find a good tree for pvp arena spec. Full frost is the best in my opinion, more survability and the water elemental pet helps a lot. But if you want burst damage I suggest Arcane/Fire, this is my actual pvp spec arena tree for 5x5 and 2x2. If you want to try Arcane/Fire in 5x5 I suggest you to cast Inivisibility Spell on the beggining of the game, because you probably will be the first target. Unfortunately Arcane and Fire mages die prety easily for melee in 5x5 because we dont have Ice Block and Ice Barrier, BUT, next patch, Ice Block will be trainable!! A lot of thing are going to change for us in Arena, just wait.... Here is the artcile, have fun :)

Shaan on the European forums has taken the time to write out a guide to building a mage Arena spec. Although the guide itself is not new, the information within it is still extremely valuable. Now, while PvP pros out there probably know all this information, this is the sort of post that gives me the massive amount of information I need as an Arena beginner. Think of the thread as a spec buffet, only each dish is laid out with pros, cons, and a rating on a scale between 1 and 10. Shaan not only talks about PvP builds in the thread, he also gives some pretty sound advice for those of us new to Arena battles. For example, he suggests using rank 1 spells for many of the standard mage actions: Polymorph, Frost Nova, rank 1 Frostbolt and rank 1Cone of Cold keybound for kiting. Yes yes, I realize that you've already got a 1800 rating and this is all baby stuff to you, but there are plenty of us out there that simply need direction when it comes to the Arena, myself included. It's a good enough guide that Salthem recently added it to the useful mage sticky thread, which is how I found this gem of a guide. Do you have any suggestions to add to the guide now that Patch 2.3 is changing things up a bit?
