In light of the latest patch changes is the 10/48/3 build still the best raid spec?
Have people had time to analyse the new possibilites of Icy Veins, or even Arcane builds with the addition of 3x mana gemsand improved evocation?
Also what has ice block brought to the 10/48/3 table? I've never really played a frost mage and thought that the Ice block was a total aggro dump when used. What I have noticed is that when using it, it only shifts aggro to the next in line and doesnt actually drop your threat. When I come out of Ice block I am still right near, or at the top, of the threat meters. Is this how it always worked?
I was hoping I could nuke right off the bat. Iceblock. Dump aggro, come out of Ice block and steadily manage threat.
Thanks in advance.
