Yes indeed. As a matter of fact, I don't often do the old way of aoe killin anymore. Instead, I'll find a few mobs and focus blizzard on them first, then if they get to me, THEN frost nova and another blizzard. But most of the time a quick ice lance or fire blast will do the trick. Depends on the density of mobs, tho.
Speaking of which, can someone decipher this for me?

If you scroll down to lvl 74, it says:

Blizzard Rank 8 Frost 74 74% Instant - 30 yards Ice shards pelt the target area doing 2800 Frost damage over 8 seconds.
Blizzard Rank 8 Frost 74 0 Instant - 100 yards Ice shards pelt the target area doing 2800 Frost damage over 8 seconds.
Is the second entry based on Improved Blizzard, or what? I don't see anything in the talent that refers to range.
