started a mage alt and have a few questions.

started out as fire but found it very boring, so switched to frost at 23 to try out some aoe,and boy did it get alot more fun.

however now the patch came and i find myself doing mostly quests again. altho im to my understanding is specced for aoe i cant say i feel very gimped, doing orange quests is normaly not a problem and even done some red ones solo.
its just that i kinda have lost track at where to go in the talents from now on.

i need to have aoe as an option so no frostbite but thinking maybe i should pick up some +damage atleast before continuing down the tree?
if so should i go for ice shards or shatter? or any other talent i might have missed. also thinking i can wait with ice block until 40 when i get my mount.

2nd question is gear. from my understanding you should go for +spelldamge maybe int+sta for aoe tho.

when does +sdamage outshine int?
also are there any rule you should aim for when it comes to the ratio between damage-crit-manapool

any feedback appriciated

For a quick answer to your +dmg question, it will only really outshine it above level 50 and beyond (when you get stats and dmg). Giving up Int+Stam for +dmg at such a low level is almost abysimal. It is also important to note that Blizzard receives very very little of the +dmg that you would be equipping, so having an extra blizzard or two is far better than doing 5 more damage per hit. I recommend picking up IceBlock at 30, it is a godsend to us.
