Great guide!

One minor inaccuracy though:

Pop your Trinkets BEFORE summoning your Water Elemental. Your pet recieves 40% of your + Frost Damage when you summon him. Increasing your + Frost Damage right before summoning him will increase his DPS, which in turn will increase yours. Try to time your trinkets with the summoning of your pet as best as you can.

Actually, you don’t need to activate your trinket before you summon the ele. The spell damage used for each waterbolt is based on your spell damage at the time when that particular waterbolt is finished casting.
In fact, it’s better to pop the trinket (together with Icy Veins, even though the ele does not profit from IV) right after you’ve summoned the elemental, because then you don’t waste the first GCD of the trinket duration.

The is a very good guide for any Deep Frost Spec’d Mages out there. There are a lot of things many players have no idea about their Water Elemental and this guide pretty much sums it all it all up quite nicely.

If you are playing as a Deep Frost Mage, you should take the time to read through this. There is lots to learn from this.

Thank you for this wonderful guide. I shall pass this along to any Frosties I come across.
