Frost Mage / Spriest bugs and PvP:

'ey,

Thinking of rolling either a Spriest or Frost Mage for PvP, but am unsure as to the bugs/lack thereof associated with either class, and am just curious if there is anything noticeably broken (from a bug perspective) with either spec that would affect PvP.

Please note that I am not asking which spec is "better." If both are more or less working as intended, I intend to roll a Mage and spec Frost, as that spec comprises `70% of my PvP exp from live. If there is some sort of horrible bug with Frosties that isn't on track to getting fixed, but Priests are fine, I figure it's as good a fallback as any other.

Not sure if a bug or if it was just implemented later, but currently Mindflay doesn't follow your target after cast like it does on retail. So targets going behind you will interrupt the channeling.

Blink works near perfectly.

That feel when you can blink up hills, so good.

That is most definitely a bug.

Only thing that comes to mind as far as a mage goes is that I'm not quite convinced that Arctic Reach actually increases the range of Frost Nova. I could be wrong, but after watching a few old pvp videos from retail Vanilla, I really don't think that my nova reaches as far as it should.
