I actually really like what you have done with the build there. It will certainly be viable for AoE grinding, although I'd be interested to know how well your hp holds up without the benefits to armor buff that frost warding talents give you.
I also wondered whether you could lose a point in arctic reach if you wanted the fifth point in clearcasting.
Since you didn't include Frost Ward as an essential talent, I assumed the effect was minimal. I chose Improved Frostbolt to improve standard play. Your comment also made me wonder if Mana Shield could help? You mentioned that you normally have mana left after a pull, so why not use it along with the Frost Shield? (I think the way these shields absorbed damage changed recently, so this may not have been viable in the past)
Another helpful addition might be to provide a target for minimum mana. You mention 5k in one of the posts but it would be nice to give people a target when they read your initial guide.
I prefer having Arctic Reach over that last point in Arcane Concentration for standard PvE. However, I assume the expanded radius of Frost Nova and range of CoC are also helpful for AoE grinding.
I still <3 your guide and plan to attempt this at some point. Too bad I need a different set of skills for my current battleground and instance activities.
