Frost was good on low movement fights anyway (tyrant/council). I never had movement problems as arcane, since i almost never ran out of Ice Flows/blinks/ATs, and fire gave me the best results with movement, i hardly used IFlows or blinks, even on archi hc - with pyro chains one can just run after allure and use instants. If i consider all the 3 specs, frost only is the worst choice since it is very bad for many fights, while picking arc/fire for all fights is viable. (the op asked for a spec that was fine for ALL fights in hfc) Not to mention how easy it is to play frost (and how boring). With the 4p+class trinket many frost mages are slacking on fight mechanisms, they are just tunneling the boss and they fail to IL prio targets while they are channeling WJ on the boss - ok i admit that it is not a problem, since in high ilvl raids adds die fast anyway, i just don't like this mentality. The gameplay with many target switching is still easy but at least a bit more fun.
