Use Fireweave instead of Emberfire.
Use Bloodthirsty Fireweave (the 358 stuff).
Bllets is 100% correct. Most of the randys in BGs these days are sporting close to 370 ilevel. You aren't going to compete at almost 40 below that even as an all-powerful frost mage.
Here's a comparison between
Emberfire and Bloodthirsty Fireweave

Hey great advice, I would never have guessed..
While my answer isn't really that detailed or long, it still shows exactly what the problem is. As a dps you loose the most from being under-geared, a healer can to some extend still do good without being geared in 370+ gear, but as a DPS it is just so much harder.
Buying the gear Hank suggest obviously will help, but you will change it soon anyway, so it may not be worth it for you. It will make a difference, but the important part is still farming honor like there is no tomorrow. So do TB, WG and BG's as much as you can, earning honor and perfecting your skills.
A frost mage may not require *that* much skill to be alright, but the difference between a bad mage and exceptional mage is huge.

You've started to get the 371 gear, so keep going with that and get the complete set. Then, gem up and enchant and off you go.
Cheers.
