Frost Mage Rotation
The frost mage rotation is a hard rotation to pin down because frost is based around keeping enemies at a safe distance while dealing a constant amount of damage. It would be next to impossible to give any frost mage a permanent revolving rotation.
There are certain abilities you can use along side each other to create a high amount of burst damage while in a frost build. In order to be a good frost mage you must realize that your job isn't to kill everything faster than everyone else. You're job is crowd control with freezing and aoe burst damage with blizzard.
While leveling you will want to spam frostbolt until your enemy is close to you. You would then trigger frost nova to freeze them in place. Blink away from the frozen target and spam frostbolt again until the target is dead. If you repeat this process while you level it should be very mana and time efficient. (In order for this method to be more effective you should talent spec into anything that has to do with frostbolt or chill effects.)
A frost mage can come in very handy in 5 man dungeons. While battling 1 or 2 man mobs use frostbolt and fire blast to burn them down. When dealing with mobs of 3 or more you will deal the most damage by spamming blizzard until the mob is dead. It is very hard on mana but deals a huge amount of burst damage if you take talent points in improved blizzard.
I do not recommend using frost for any type of raiding. It is more of a soloing or 5 man spec. Look into the arcane spec if you are interested in raids. As far as I'm concerned frost is the only spec for pvp. A skilled frost mage can challenge any character in the game. The truth is everyone will find their own frost mage rotation. Just remember that frostbolt is your starter, your closer, you slower, and your nuke. Learn to love it and you will love the frost build.
