Dual Specs for Arcane/Frost Mages?

Although the Solo MMO Player hasn't theory crafted any of this, it looks to him that the Patch 3.3 changes for PvE casters has made a dual spec for arcane/frost mages an excellent combination if you can afford it.  You'll get two unique things:  Arcane mages have mobility and high burst, single shot DPS for a raiding environment.  Frost mages have new improved AOE talents that allow you to cover the battlefield or some raid environments.  A combo arcane/frost mage is something he's going to evaluate carefully.  The improvements in the frost mage tree spec that came with Patch 3.3 have been very impressive.  His frost mage went toe to toe with a Level 80 death knight and killed it last night.  The AoE casting spells are very effective in knocking down an opponent.

Any thoughts?
