Upcoming changes in 3.1 for Mages

[Vitandus]

    * Improved Water Elemental – this talent has been removed and replaced with a new talent that grants Replenishment (similar to Shadow priests).
    * We are also working on a way to give frost mages Ice Lance "Shatter combos" in PvE.
    * We are also working on more survivability for Fire spec in PvP.
    * We are also working on making Spirit a more useful and interesting stat for all mages.

• Improved Water Elemental: Renamed Enduring Winter. Instead of the Water Elemental increasing mana regeneration for the Mage's party, casting Frostbolt now has a 33/66/100% chance to provide the Replenishment buff to up to 10 people in the Mage's party or raid.
