Thanks a bunch guys. I think I've made my final decisions. I'm taking everybody's input into account, but I guess in the end the only opinion that matters on my character is mine. I've been convinced of more than a few talent choices, so this thread was very beneficial. Thanks again guys.
Edit: Spell Impact to Magic Attunement / Focus Magic : Focus magic will benefit you more than Spell Impact, in my opinion. Frost doesn't have a lot of crit and rely extremely on Shatter. Our base crit is often negated by resilience, and 3% crit is probably better than 6% dmg on Ice Lance.
Magic Attunement is a personal choice. I find the 6 yards on CS and Sheep extremely useful in many situations. Boosting Dampen Magic by 50% is good in 2s if you play a double dps comp, in duels and in bgs, but useless if you play mage / priest or arc mage / prot pal. I guess it depends of your comps.
Okay, so I thought I was all settled, but this part right here has me thinking. Getting Magic Attunement would set it up at the same range as Frostbolt, which just so happens to be my longest reaching spell...
Where did you take points from for Magic Attunement?

How much does Focus Magic really help? If I'm more interested in 1v1 PvP, will it benefit me at all?

in all honesty, you're not going to find yourself in 1v1 situations very often. in that case, focus magic is better kept just because it's 100000x better in a group situation and any other point you could be putting it into is not going to be "zomg awesome".
basically, there's no point at all to using mana shield in PvP except as dispell fodder and the occasional "oh snap" button. increasing it's effectiveness is useless; that talent is taken by arcane mages to increase their resistances.
your spec is trying to increase mana efficiency when that is one of our lowest concerns in a pvp environment. we care about surviving and killing things, we're not going to be going oom very often at all in a pvp situation. not to mention that, no offense, but pvping at level 40-50 gives you very little information on what PvP is like at 80.
frost mages need all the burst they can get, you will be casting frostbolt a lot, it's your bread and butter spell, and TTW helps doubly when brainfreeze procs; it's way too good to pass up.
increasing your mana regeneration is $%^& useless for PvP. also, don't go for precision, you should have enough PvE gear that you'll hit the PvP hit cap fairly easily.
