Blackwing Lair (Phase 5) Frost Mage Best in Slot
Because most of your damage comes from Balefire Bolt and
Frostfire Bolt,
getting gear with Fire or Frost Spell damage is almost equivalent to getting Spell
damage gear!
Molten Core (Phase 4) Frost Mage Best in Slot
Because most of your damage comes from Balefire Bolt and
Frostfire Bolt,
getting gear with Fire or Frost Spell damage is almost equivalent to getting Spell
damage gear!
Pre-Raid Frost Mage Best in Slot
Because most of your damage comes from Balefire Bolt and
Frostfire Bolt,
getting gear with Fire or Frost Spell damage is almost equivalent to getting Spell
damage gear!
Sunken Temple (Phase 3) Frost Mage Best in Slot
This list is made up of Sunken Temple raid drops, world drops, profession gear, quest rewards and dungeon drops.
As Frostfire Bolt is your main damage source, Green of Frozen Wrath
or of Fiery Wrath bind on equip gear is great on the slots you can find it
for. Most slots do have stronger options, however, as listed below.

Gnomeregan (Phase 2) Frost Mage Best in Slot
This list is made up of Gnomeregan raid drops, world drops, profession gear, quest rewards and dungeon drops.
Green of Frozen Wrath bind on equip gear is decent but most slots have stronger options, especially this early into the game when Mana pools are still low and Intellect is stronger than it would usually be.

Blackfathom Depths (Phase 1) Frost Mage Best in Slot
This list is made up of Blackfathom Deeps raid drops, world drops, quest rewards and dungeon drops. While green of Frozen Wrath bind on equip gear can also be good, most slots have stronger option, especially this early into the game when Mana pools are still low and Intellect is stronger than it would usually be.
