World of Warcraft 1.11 Patch: Mage Talents All Over

Yesterday was the first chance I actually had to install the World of Warcraft 1.11 patch. It came out the day before but Blizzard has some well-known "issues" with getting patches out to their millions of subscribers. What I don't get is that they had the clever update software able to send me 126MB of the 151MB patch in the background while I was playing over the past little while. Why not send the rest as well? I spent a couple hours trying to track down a free mirror that I could get the thing from... Anyhow, the character I play most often is a mage, so this patch had big changes for me. The talent tree was revamped for mages and I got to redo my talents. Thanks to some input from this thread on how to use a solo mage to beat up crowds with Area of Effect (AoE) spells, I leaned toward the frost talents.
