@blacksabre - Christian said that taking a Frost Mage into a raid was unorthodox, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Frost mages bring some utility in the form of replenishment, commendable AoE dps, as well as giving Fire mages the night off from scorch duty, while at the same time holding their own in DPS. Their survivability also means that healers don't have to worry as much about healing them.

While they bring their own strengths to the table, just don't expect frost mages to top the charts anytime soon. Playing one myself, I can attest that with proper cooldown management and gear selection, 3-4k DPS is certainly attainable with Naxx-25 gear.
