Two additional changes have been made to the upcoming mage review. The talent calculator isn't updated with these yet, but should be soon. So for patch 1.11, expect the following additional changes:Winter's Chill: Will now increase crit chance by 1% (lowered from 2%), but will stack up to 10 times (from 5).
Improved Scorch: The fire vulnerability effect has been increased to 30 seconds (from 15).

I like that Blizzard is always tweaking the game, but I wonder how many actually notices 1% here or 1% there except people who are either really hardcore players or like to crunch numbers.

The changes to Winter's Chill make it only worthwile in boss encounters, and possibly only with more than one mage speced with it. I am currently Arcane/Frost and was considering going to a heavy Frost/Arcane build, but with this nerf along with the re-revision of the 31-pt talent, I'm pretty sure I will be going elementalist.
