Im still not recommending frostbite, its because aoe grinding is all about predictability, even if its only occured in an annoying way in 1/20 times you really dont want it.
Anyway there is a small (and not so updated guide here on wowhead) take a look:
AoE Grinding
The key is survivability and predictability, once you master that, you can go nuts and try different things. If you never did any of this before, Id strongly recommend you keep it simple and effective, mash up some spellpower get some ah greens and get grinding without frostbite. Then if you feel like wasting some gold and taking some deathwalks you can do it :)
The question is really: do you want to pull 5-7 or 20+ ? For the latter, there is no room for mistakes.
I wish you good luck.

I am personally using a blizz aoe spec with frostbite and if you think it ruins the pulls for you then think again, so let's say you pull 10 mobs and 5 of them gets frozen and the rest don't. Big deal, they walk so slow that they take the blizzard anyways. And mostly for me, i proc frostbite on EVERY SINGLE MOB sometime during the blizzard channel. So to state how it works for me at lest, shatter is not enough to break up the pull. It just doesn't affect it at all most of the time.
Instead, shatter allows me to do a huge amount of extra damage when doing the AoE and it boosts my single target dps by a lot too.
It is no longer nessecary to choose either single target dps or AoE. Sure, you loose some single target dps but it's marginal compared to what you gain on the AoE side.
It is true that shatter used to break the aoe style but it is no longer the case so please stop reciting old "truths" that you read in some outdated guides. Idiots that can't think for themselves will take your advice and then suffer from it.
Blizzard is getting a nerf sometime soon but as it is now, shatter is good and great.
