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?

Guides to Playing a Mage (and Laughing)

Thanks to the Hots and Dots column just mentioned below, I have some new mage guides for players to browse.  First up is Psynister's Notebook which has a recent (October 2009) multi-part series that was recommended as excellent for leveling mages.  Only the first two parts are up so this only goes to Level 39.  I'll add new articles as they appear.  Note that there are other guides on this site for Druids, Hunters, Paladins and Shamans.  Click on the Guides tab to see them.

http://psynister.wordpress.com/2009/12/29/mage-leveling-part-iii-40-58/

The mages at Empowered Fire have a guide to playing a mage once you hit Level 80 (November 2009).  Besides specs for the various types of mages, they have a list of instances that offer good gear for mages and list crafted items also.
http://www.empoweredfire.com/2009/11/02/ding-80-now-what-the-guide/

They also have a mage leveling guide (October 2009),
http://www.empoweredfire.com/2009/10/23/mage-leveling-guide/

plus a raiding guide for mages in Patch 3.2,
http://www.empoweredfire.com/2009/10/05/mage-raiding-guide-3-2-2/

AND a guide for Arcane Mages in Patch 3.2.  I know Patch 3.3 is likely to hit next week but you still may want to read this information as it is current.
http://www.empoweredfire.com/2009/10/05/arcane-in-3-2-2/

They also host this hilarious video of how to play a mage.  Even I (and I don't play WOW) fell over laughing while watching it.

The Empowered Fire ladies are my favorite mage site of the day!
