So I just dinged 80 with my mage and respecced to a frost raiding spec (I know it's not the optimum raiding spec for mages, but it's what I like). Since I've respecced, my fingers of frost proc has been acting weird. In dungeons, the majority of times it procs, it quickly removes itself before I can use it. The times I'm able to use it, I can fire off one ice lance and then it cancels itself out. Out of dungeons, it will often proc and I can only fire off one lance before canceling. It's a rare occasion I can fire off two lances. Is there something in my spec causing this or is it a result of being 80 (I didn't have this problem at all before respeccing)?
Also, from what I've read, frost mage stats to focus on are haste > spell power > crit. What about intel and spirit? Should I not worry about those at all?
Thanks for any help anyone can give.

As for your FoF problem... you might want to report it. When I was leveling I didn't notice anything like that, but something is definitely askew.
As for your stats, int is always a priority as more int = more mana = more spells.
Unless I am quite mistaken, spell power is held as its own stat, which is balanced against crit or haste, whichever benefits your class. I believe frost is like arcane in that it values haste because your talents proc from getting as many spells out as you can, and it also feeds your damage as fire is the only spec putting up DoTs, the exception being FFB, so you need to be casting as many spells as possible.

Just to make sure, the FoF procs where you see them disappearing early.. are you getting these from casting Blizzard? Or will it do the same thing if you just cast Frostbolt?

Happens during both.

You may want to double check me on this, cause I haven't been frost in a while, but last I checked, ice lance is never worth it in a pve scenario (save for when you're on the move and have a well timed FoF proc).
sp > haste > crit
And don't forget deep freeze. That's what you should be doing with your FoF procs if it's off CD.

Well now I feel a little retarded. Kind of. The problem isn't FoF now, but before I respecced. Now it's acting properly and counts the frostbolt I already had casting as one of the spells receiving the frozen target benefit. Before I respecced, it wouldn't count blizzard shards as part of the benefit or any spell I was currently casting (i.e. if I was spamming forstbolt and had hit the button for the next frostbolt before FoF procced, it wouldn't count the frostbolt I was currently casting towards the FoF benefit. And if it procced while I was casting blizzard, the FoF would remain for its whole duration).
So now I have to readjust how I'm used to casting when FoF procs.

Could you explain a little more?
I feel like you just told me I picked a bad spot to build my house, but you're not telling me if it's because the site is an old indian burial ground, swamp land, or what. :)
