I have read a few different comments on this talent. I think I know how it works, but am not 100% sure. My mage just hit 80 and the mages I run with are Frost, so I haven't had much experience.
Question: Is there any use for
Slow
in PvE Heroics and/or Raiding?
To summarize what I've already read. Raid bosses (skull) are immune to slow/snare effects, but not Heroic bosses. The debuff will be applied to the boss if it's doing anything or not. Is this right?
Some people seem to claim that Slow doesn't work on any bosses, however, when going for the
Less-rabi
achievement I read that Slow is the only slowing effect that does work on him. We had our Frost mage switch to Arcane, even though he hates it, just to try to help on this achievement. We still didn't get it, but I thought the casting time was certianly slower than our previous attempts.
Also, and I think I know this answer too, if raid bosses are immune will
Torment the Weak
still work if they have the debuff? I assume not since they are not slowed or snared, but if the debuff is there, I thought maybe there's a chance.
Thanks for any help and info.

slow is worth havng if you're arcane, it's the 1 talent oh !@#$ equivalent of a boomkin's typhoon
it may not get to be used all the time but you'll be glad you have it for certain fights, soloing, pvp, w/e
it is one of the only spell casting slow effects which is quite powerful
for that ach i'd prob try a prot warr, stunlock rogue, mage, DK, and prob a resto shaman for max stuns on different DRs

Thanks for the input. I do not plan on getting rid of slow. Although I do have a frost soloing spec. Still, I can see a few situations where it would be helpful, like on the BK's pet, the annoying ghoul. I can freeze him if he gets near me, but being able to slow him while chasing the healer is nice. Either way I just need to get used to playing my mage. My Protadin's been 80 a while, and I'm not tired of him yet. If only I could mage tank.
I do understand that some group makeups are better for that achievement, but a group of us are trying to do them all together. 2x Frost Mages (both with arcane offspecs), Prot War (no offspec), Prot Pali (me, bad holy offspec, but good block set), Holy Pali (wife, bad ret offspec). This is really the first achievement that's given us trouble, besides just getting tactics down for others. Then again, we only tried it one night when everyone was tired so after about 5 attempts or so we gave up.

i've failed that achievement with 3 rogues in the group so it's definitely not one of the easy ones to get
