I'm confused about a new nuke. What is Mind Spike accomplishing that removing shadow weaving and removing the cooldown of mind blast no complete? It seems to me that mind blast (talented) has the same casting time, so is mind spike a mini nuke?

That's a good way to put it and unfortunately it's too early to tell. It's kind of crummy that our new shadowfrost damage dealing spell isn't even going to be part of the standard rotation. Heck, the rotation doesn't sound like it's changing thus far, minus adding shadow word: death back in for execute... where it SHOULD have been all along. Not that the rotation is bad now, I'm just surprised. This is assuming Blizzard intends for it to stay the way it is, who knows. Maybe mind spike will ultimately be theory-crafted to replace mind blast.
