Mages in patch 2.3
Here's the changes for mages in patch 2.3. I've highlighted what matters 
# Detect Magic removed. All players may now see their target's beneficial effects at all times
# Frost Ward and Fire Ward now gain additional benefit from +Dmg
# Frost Ward and Fire Ward (Ranks 5, 6) have had their base absorb lowered
# Damage coefficient reduction is removed from Improved Fireball/Frostbolt.
# New spell : Ritual of Refreshment. It will allow players to pick up their own stack of food/water, similar to a Soulwell.
# Evocation restores 15% of your total mana every 2 seconds instead of being a spirit-based mana regen increase.
# Arcane Meditation is being increased to 10/20/30% mana regeneration.
# Ice Barrier gains additional benefit from spell damage bonuses. However, the base absorb values of ranks 5 and 6 have been reduced.

Great changes. Detect Magic is removed cos of arena debuff spam, IMO (Tanduli was wrong on this, btw).
Fireball/frostbolt change is awesome.
Evocation change is awesome.
Arcane Meditation is awesome.
HUGE buff to raiding mages.

I agree with you that Detect magic was prolly removed due to spamming it in arenas but still nice since we don't have to get it up on mobs and bosses to see when to dispel or spellsteel And indeed the evocation buff is nice.. it means no more swapping to spirit items for better mana regen ^^ and with 5/5 arcane meditation and mage armor up we'll have 65% mana regen during fights compared to 45% as it is now, which effectively is almost 50% better mana regen than before

Re: Mages in patch 2.3
You dont waste any evocation "ticks" now also
Also the detect magic thing is one extra debuff slot in raids which is also nice
