* Blink mana cost reduced roughly 40%
* Improved Blink now increases the distance you Blink by 15/30%, and you have a 15/30% chance to reduce the cast time of your next Fireball, Frostbolt, or Arcane Blast spell by 50% after you Blink. (Might just do one of these effects)
* Prismatic Cloak now reduces damage taken by 3/6%, up from 2/4%
* Mana Cost of Slow reduced roughly 40%
* Arcane Fortitude now increases your armor by an amount equal to 100% of your Intellect, up from 50%.
* Mana Shield now scales with spell damage. (Max rank with full S3/best gear will absorb around 1Kish, added damage absorb doesn't cost/consume mana to the shield, it will always cost what the tooltip says)
* Improved Fire Ward is now Molten Shield
* New Talent: Molten Shield - Reduces all damage taken by 2/4% while using Molten Armor, and causes your Fire Ward to have a 25/50% chance to reflect Fire spells while active.
* Frost Warding: Chance to reflect Frost spells while Frost ward is active by 25/50%, up from 10/20%.
* Icy Veins no longer increases the chance your chilling effects Freeze the target, but now reduces pushback by 100% for 20 sec.
* Icy Veins spell haste bonus no longer stacks with Bloodlust.
* Ice Flows now gives you a 15/30% chance to avoid interruption caused by damage while casting any Frost spell.

the two things i'm looking forward to the most is the lowered mana cost on blink and the mana shield buff. those two spells really needed to get fixed, and now it's finally happening.

be viable in 2v2 arena when taking the changes into account ?

Looks nice and could work, but i'd still go full frost for survival ablities.

full frost would prolly still be better, it's just that when u look at the changes, the spec would give you a constant 10% reduced dmg taken, a viable mana shield and a nice opener with pom pyro followed by some quick fireballs/frostbolts with icy veins popped and some seconds with AP active.

icebarrier is pretty much a must for 2v2. that could work for 5v5 tho
