Hey, was going to start leveling teh ol' mage up to 70 and was wondering how to play them any more!  My other 2 70's Jyggle and Cayis have been melee classes basically for leveling and I haven't played Bae hardcore since we were downing Hakkar and cursing at Ossiran.

So I had a few questions for those who have level'd to 70 since TBC dropped.

What spec should I be?  Right now I'm full full frost (all 52 points :)).  Should I mix some arcane or fire in there or should I, for leveling, bust back up the fire tree.

What should I use for gear?  I have quite a few pieces hanging around in the bank, but I'm wondering how I should itemize my gear.  Should I be going for max spell damage?  The most int I can get to cast more spells?  Or stam so I could live a little longer?  

When I get to 70 what kind of gear should I be looking at (craftable)?  I figure I'll be switching back to frost (if I switch) @ 70 for survivability and PVP viability.  Should I be looking at Frozen Shadoweave stuff then?  Should I be going for Battlecast?  Spellstrike?  A set for pvp and instances both?  


Help me Obi-wan TheguildFSE, you're my only hope!
