You pretty much never want to automatically ice lance your target once it freezes (making this proposed macro a bad idea). Its a waste because what you should do is - loose one more frost bolt and right as its done casting throw out an ice lance.
Not to split hairs, but top rank frostbolt can be quite difficult to get off in an Arena setting after a Frostbite proc. For starters, the freeze effect is much shorter than a Nova freeze effect. Secondly, you open yourself up to a variety of defensive moves(shammy shock and/or grounding totem, warrior reflect, felpuppy spell lock, rogue deadly throw...). Often better to throw a rank 1 Frostbolt to keep 'em slowed and follow it with an Ice Lance.
Note here regarding grounding totems--it will eat up both your Frostbolt and Ice Lance if you follow the standard shatter combo formula. Watch out for them bastids.
Here's a thought for buffing mages in Arena--change Ice Lance so it can proc Frostbite. Yeah, so that would be a bit OP...but aren't we due?
