Mage PvP Overview

Mages are a really popular PVP class. FrostFrost Mages shine with brilliant crowd-control, burst damage and survivability, while FireFire Mages are more of a consistent dot based damage dealer in PVP. ArcaneArcane Mages are not a viable PVP spec for Mages, as their spec talent Mana Adept Icon Mana Adept relies on being on full mana to do optimal damage. This, combined with a lacking crowd-control toolkit and weak survivability, makes ArcaneArcane Mages a spec that is not really present in PVP.
