Frost is as good as or better than arcane on most heroic encounters for most people because of the high proc rates, lightning fast target switching, significant bomb damage in haste builds, and overall versatility without RNG ever being such a problem. We don't have movement issues like Arcane and we don't have bad streaks like Fire. We also interface with every one of the caster trinkets in an incredible way. Further, without a dependence on the 4pc bonus, we're able to take full advantage of the bizarre caster-stacked loot tables in the first 8 easy heroics, giving us inflated item levels for future progression.
I mean, here's my little 8/14H guild and I'm already ilvl 570.
