In a related idea, I'm about to hit 60 and it turns out that much of the Frost mage pre raid BIS is just greens with "Of Frozen Wrath" on them. Just +frost damage with no other stats. So I bought some boots for 50g and a helm and shoulders for 15g each. Total frost damage from the 3 items was 91.

My previous gear was mostly just intellect, stam, and spirit with about 21 spell damage between them, so frost damage increased by 70

I tested the damage on mobs outside the Undercity. With my int gear my frostbolts hit for 560 to 625, so 592 on average. With frost gear they hit for 620 to 680, so 650 on average. That's a 10% increase.

Blizzards went from doing 130 damage per tick to 134. That's only a 3% increase, so not nearly as significant.

My mana dropped from 5k to 4.2k. That's pretty much an entire Blizzard since blizzard costs 980.

Since fights only last a couple minutes, I think this means its a big increase in damage to use the frost gear for single target damage. For AOE damage / grinding I think it's not so good.
