I'm lvl 62 and just respecced to Frost. Up until now Fire has been great for soloing quests, with Dragonbreath and Combust being the best answers to pulling too many Though after hitting Outlands where a lot of mobs are dangerous to your hp, Frost keeps you alive better...

Hmmm depends on your gear and the spells you are comfortable with and use the most. frost is my favorite, if you have enough spell damage fire would be a nice option, would make up for sitting drinking so much :P
arcane is nice, more powerful than most care to say, people like to have #$%^ing contests over fire vs frost.
if your high enough you can go arc/fire for pom pyro and pom sheep, very nice things to have when something bad has happened or just to kick the dps up a little.
I say frost though, you get a non-mana eatting self bubble and a water ele which you can use to increase your dps and ranged frost nova things down.

Pfff fire ofcourse your are able to kill a mob before it will be able to touch you.
Of course you do. As long its a single mob, far from you and not elite. If any of this condition fails you are in trouble, if there are more than 2 mobs - you are in deep trouble.
If you want to kill fast and die fast - take fire. If you want to play safe and doing most of group quests solo - take frost
Okay, now I'm curious. Say there's more than 2 mobs ... say 5. Can a frost mage survive that? (Assuming equal level?)
As an Arcane mage, I usually (mana) shield up, and spam AE, hoping I take them down before me.

And I gotta disagree that Fire Mages can't kill elites. Its not as easy as Frost, yes, but its definately doable. Pyro, Fireball x2, Fireblast, FN, run, Fireball x2, Fireblast, BW, Blink, Fireballx2, Fireblast, CoC and they're generally dead by now. If not, Ice Block and repeat from FN.

Obviously :D
But I meant if they're not specced for AOE, cause most Frost mages probably (I'm assuming here) aren't all specced AOE. Can you survive then?

Ah, okay.
I thought people didn't spec into Improved Blizzard unless specced AOE. I never did play frost that much :)
And hey, I play Arcane. We don't know the meaning of threat or grabbing Aggro.
