Best Races
Berserking (+20% cast haste for 10s) is a big burst window for Fire and Arcane. Blood Elf trades that for Arcane Torrent — mana back plus an AoE silence.
Expansive Mind (+5% maximum mana) helps mana longevity on long fights, and Escape Artist is handy utility. Human (The Human Spirit) is the minor alternative.
Notes
Spell power with haste; Veiled 40153 replaces Reckless where hit is needed.
The Frost Mage list in short
This is the Best in Slot list for the Frost Mage in WotLK 3.3.5a Phase 4: the strongest realistic gear from Icecrown Citadel 25, Ruby Sanctum and Trial of the Grand Crusader. It covers 17 equipment slots with the enchant, the gems and the close alternatives for every piece.
In short: the PvE Frost build uses the Frozen Bonespike in the main hand with the Sundial of Eternal Dusk in the off hand and the Corpse-Impaling Spike as the ranged weapon; its trinkets are Phylactery of the Nameless Lich and Charred Twilight Scale; the head slot is Sanctified Bloodmage Hood and the chest is Robe of the Waking Nightmare.
