While some mages agree the nerfs were kneejerk'ish, they fear they may not maintain their raid spots if they can't compete; they are now left to trying out Frost/Arcane on test dummies or in LFR to see if they can "make it work" in raids.
Raid leaders, are you benching your mages, or giving them time to adapt to different specs?
