* WotlK: Frost mage damage is already quite high, pvE fully viable, pvp the most effective mage build, Blizzard added more control to Frost Mages, Deep Freeze gives mages a stun, coupled with recent improvements to blink, the new Shatter Shield that freezes all targets after it's damage is absrobed, adding a mage stun is a great pvp addition.* Damage inc: 5% damage to Frostbolt/Icelance, Instant Frostfire bolt.* Alternate Role: Crowd Control King, AoE master.* Utility Buffs: Brain Freeze (-15% chance to hit on frozen targets) ,Spellsteal, CounterSpell, Invisibility, Iceblock, Amplify/Dampen Magic, Arcane Intellect, Food/water, Evocate, Mana Shield, Shatter Shield, Mage Armor/Frost Armor, Frost Ward/Fire Ward, Mana gems.* Control: Polymorph, Frost nova, Frost spell slows, Frostbite, Deep Freeze stun.* AoE: Blizzard, Cone of Cold, Arcane Explosion, Flamestrike.AoE - continuous AoE is the most valuable type for group situations, Control: CC abilities of any form. Utility Spells: Additional spells that contribute to your role. Group Buffs: buffs to the raid or party that help. Main Role of DPS is the first, it must be high enough. There are several factors to consider when sussing for viability in PvE.PvE - Contribution to Raids/Groups in WotLK.Arcane is shaping up as very decent alternative and balance against Frost or Fire.

Mage, Warlock never had much pvp or pve viability issues and continue to grow stronger with exciting new talents, only thing is Fire continues to lag behind Frost for Arena, but continues to have a high damage output.Balance Druids new abilities finally give them a PvE viability on par with Shadow priests/Elemental Shaman, Mages & Locks where previously they were the least desired or exciting caster of the bunch. Shadow Priests new abilities have a much needed PvP revamp giving them decent viability once more.

So far, in my opinion, it's looking very exciting for all the casters, some sweet spells and abilities all around.
