It looks pretty good, here is what I would have instead.
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#oZZAhcckru0czHere are some changes I made.
-3 From
Permafrost. This is considered to be more of a PvP talent and not much of a benefit for leveling. It is a nice option to consider later, once more points have been placed. Putting distance between you and enemies is always a good idea. A vast majority of the games PvE enemies don't even heal or receive heals, so that portion of this talent goes to waste.
+1 to
Improved Blizzard. You only really need 1 point into this. More points are a waste as we only want Blizzard to gain a chill effect. Maybe you can guess why. That's right, it procs
Frostbite this way, allowing your
Shatter talent to shine in AoE situations.
+3 to
Shatter. This will help you a lot, as
Frostbite procs a lot. You will pretty much have around a 65% crit chance, at least 15% of the time. Crits are good.
-1 from
Frost Channeling. This spell is useful, but can be filled in later. There are many better options at level 40 that you want first.
-2 from
Improved Cone of Cold. I detest Cone of Cold. It is very rarely used in my leveling process. It consumes a lot of mana and I am not often in a situation to use it. I don't like being caught face to face with a group of mobs. I prefer to rain pain down on them from a distance.
+2 to
Winter's Chill. Now those 2 points can be placed somewhere useful, like into Winter's Chill. More crit is always a good thing. This is more useful in 5 man dungeons, where mobs live longer than 3-4 shots.
+1 to
Ice Barrier. Trust me, you will like this. Keep it up. Always.
