Tips for killing frost mages?

On my rogue I have an extremely hard time killing frost mages, if the mage is arcane or fire it is much easier, but frost is near impossible. I'm mut/prep and usually open with garrote, if I use cheap shot they blink away thus making it useless. If I open with cheap shot they will blink, making that opener useless. I need tips for killing frost mages, because nothing seems to work unless the mage doesn't know how to play well. Any other rogues out there who have trouble killing frost mages?

I have alot of trouble with them too, especially in arena. In arena, the best counter is to have a priest to dispel the hundreds of snares they use on you. I think you can count on about 6 total frost novas before they run out and have to ice block. (frost nova, Imp ice barrier, water ele nova, cold snap, frost nova, water ele nova, Imp frost barrier) not including the fost novas from their frost bolts. Forcing them to blow CDs is the only way to kill them.
I would recommend going to youtube and doing some searches for rogue vs frost mage vids. Those seem to be the best way to learn, along with experience.

Three words for you.
FREE ACTION POTION
8 out of 10 Frost Mages panic and die quickly
Great for BGs, but can't use them in arena.

This.
Usually open with a garrote, a mut, then kidney. This will brk the ice barrier and force the mage to blink. Blink has a 20 sec cd so vanish the nova from the barrier then straffe fast! Never go straight to the mage after vanish, open with cs, pop an ap trinket if you have it and burst fast. Smart mages will sit through the cs others will iceblock. If the iceblock then CoS after mage comes out and win. If they sit through expect a nova. Throw a blind let em trinket. Pop a sprint and from there play smart.
Never trinket a poly. Only the deep freeze. Like Sgtpain said you have to make them blow their CD's. Frost mage and Rogue fights are usually CD war.
All fights and players are different but this is how I usually fight the frosties.
