I have been wondering this for a while now and would really like to know why people use Frostfire Bolt.
As Frost, you get survivability unmatched and Frostbolt does -tons- more than Frostfire and slows more.
As Arcane, you get incredible DPS. Since update, I don't see any other spec matching the 57/3/11 output.
I use Frostfire Bolt when I am soloing Frost and come across Ice mobs but aside that, the slow cast, low damage, and pitiful DoT makes it seem worthless.
Though I figure with proper talents it has to do something.
But, what? I'd really like to know why it's used. :)
