I don't really like to PvP in Frost spec... I'm not saying it's not good, but I just don't like it. The mobility you get from the Arcane spec for me is crucial, specially when fighting melee spec opponents.
I suggest this spec for PvP:
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#oMLfs0MczeGu0tedfcbcoZ0b:mzimoc
(Talents + Glyphs)
The good about this spec:
Mobility thanks to Arcane Barrage (instant cast ~3k damage spell).
High burst damage
Improved counterspell means you also silence your opponent for 4 seconds. This is a must against Holy Pallys, Shamans and other classes that can quickly heal themselves
Improved Invisibility allows you to escape death easier
The combo Presence of Mind + Pyroblast means that you can put DoTs into others, preventing them from going invisible
Impact talent allows you to stun your opponents
Temporary immunity to silence
Lower cast time for Polymorph
Good resistances thanks to the Magic Absorption talent
The bad about this spec:
High mana usage
Lower freeze possibilities when comparing to Frost spec
No Water Elemental
No Ice Barrier
I'd say the good outweighs the bad, don't you?

I don't like this spec at all.. check this one that I posted, along with some explanations.
Check the spec I listed for PvP on this very thread, a few posts up.

Ok, back to the PvE topic.
I was raiding Ulduar 25 yesterday with my guild (Legendary - Frostwolf US PvP Server). We downed:
Flame Leviathan
Ignis
Razorscale
XT
Iron Council
Kologarn
Not bad for a few hours of raiding. Anyways, in between fights, another mage from my guild and myself started to debate on how much haste and crit is decent for Torment spec. I mean, at what point is haste too much and crit not enough (and vice-versa) for Torment spec?
I have about 540 haste and 26.84% fire crit chance (no raid or self buffs) while in FB/TTW spec (I'm hit capped with about 2k sp). Should I sacrifice some haste for more crit? What would be the optimum haste x crit?
Any in-depth thoughts? Some heavy theorycrafting?
