Frost is VERY bad right now, I don't know what your talking about. There is skill to it, like all specs, seperating the good from the good from the bad players however it doesn't make it a acceptable spec. If you show up as frost to my raid, I will kick you on the spot.
I can pull 6k dps as a arcane mage, and when I switch to frost I pull 3k. That's a 3,000 dps loss. That's because the biggest amount of damage from frost comes from freezing a enemy in place and critting automatically because they are frozen. This cannot happen to boss mobs, meaning you lose that perk.
According to Elitiest Jerks (and Blizzard), they are way behind every other mage spec, primarly because it is a pvp tree. Elitiest jerks even has charts as to why they are way behind every other spec.
