I first want to start off with saying I haven't played wow in a very long time and when i did play I was mainly a fire mage. I also want apologize for such a low level question but i did try to search the mage forums first before asking and did some googling. I have been trying to kill those random elites and so far have only been successful when i get help from people around me. It would be extremely helpful if some of you could post some tips on what you do to kill the different mobs. I tried looking at the frost pve guide but that seemed like raiding information to me and also assumed you knew what you were doing, which i feel i really don't have a clue. Thanks.
Edit: I wanted to add that i went frost because i had heard it was easier that way and wasn't as gear dependent.
I also have craptastic gear. I am slowly gaining better gear from the chests i find and those spirit bosses.
