Spec Changes for Patch 9.1
Frost Mage has no changes for 9.1 as of yet.
Legendary Changes for Patch 9.1
There are new Covenant-specific Legendaries, although preliminary numbers show that none will impact Frost Mage. Night Fae do not currently have one added, but given Night Fae's relative weakness for Frost, it is unlikely that it will shift the balance of power.
Frost Mage Conduit and Soulbind Changes for Patch 9.1
While all Soulbinds are getting new abilities and extra Conduit slots, it is
incredibly unlikely that the 9.0.5 advice will change due to the overwhelming
power of 
Mirrors of Torment.
All Soulbind trees will get one Potency slot that branches into a choice of
Endurance or Finesse. Which one to choose will functionally be up to personal
taste, with 
Ice Bite likely being the Potency Conduit of choice.
