Still Alive...

"and believe me I am still alive
I'm doing science and I'm still alive
I feel FANTASTIC and I'm still alive"

My new focus for season 3 will be a shift from stam to spell damage and crit. I started season 2 behind the curve with all pve crafted gear. Needless to say I had very little survivability and was a one trick AP pony. Over time I built my HP pool and resilience rating to the point where I slightly nerfed my ability to kill. For season 3, I should have the same survivability and control, while adding killing power back to my arsenal. In season 2 I picked up dreadweave vet gear for the stam. I'll be picking up all silk vindicator's for S3 and Glowing Nightseye instead of the Solid Star of Elune I was using previously.

Now that ice block will be trainable, frost mages get a new buff and it doesn't even change my spec (17/0/44), it just makes me stronger.

"Icy Veins (NEW Frost Talent) decreases casting time of all spells by 20% and increases the chance your chilling effects will freeze the target by 25%. Lasts 20 sec. 3 min cooldown. It is now in the Cold Snap position in the talent tree."

Icy veins will make rush downs that much stronger in 1v1 through 5v5. I also adds greater control with the increased freeze percentage and greater damage potential through faster cast time and more frostbite procs.
