Just a final heads up for the repeating posts I see about firemage versus icemage, firemage is definetly the way to go. It is better dps for bosses, better for group leveling, and better for solo leveling.
The timing at the moment is about 3 firebolts per 1 ice shard. My highest ice shard hit with excellent icemage gear was 8.5k while my highest firebolt hit with decent firemage gear is 5.6k. Even if I substituted my highest ice blast hit which was 9.3k, firbolt would still massively out dps ice.
I hope this helps anyone choosing between fire and ice. This is definite proof, icemage simply fails.

#3Ya, I know. I am extremely stubborn. LolDidn't I tell you this long ago?
When the update first came out, I thought it would be great to finally be a full icemage with the new skills. Oh well, I might as well warn anyone else who had this dream.
