I’ve been actually asked to kite Crispin around while the rest of the raid took down the other targets first. Being Frost makes it easy to keep him busy (and at a distance) until the rest of the raid is ready to kill him.

Without the shackle though we were a little short on CC, and those who have done Moroes know it's a pretty CC intensive fight. Fortunately as a frost mage you have the advantage of being your own CC but causing damage at the same time, and that's through kiting one of the adds as they are susceptable to being slowed. What you do need though is all of your CD's and some intelligent use of the Frost Novas at your disposal. Here's how I did it (and worked quite well :o) Have your target allocated to you (preferably either Rafe or Crispin) then as soon as the fight starts cast a full rank Frostbolt to get some agg and slow him down. Summon your WE and use it's ranged FN to freeze him in place for 8 secs. Just before it breaks, hit him with a rank 1 Frostbolt to keep him slowed. Use your personal FN to freeze him for another 8 secs, strafe to max range, and FBrank1 again just as it breaks. Blink, FBrank1 again to maintain the slowing effect, and move around until your WE has CD on his ranged FN, use it to freeze him in place again. Hit him with a full rank FB to make sure you're still 1st on his agg table. Let him come within range, hit FN, strafe away. Cold snap - you now have your WE and FN back. Basically repeat the above now, you can keep one of the adds out long enough this way easily until the rest of the group is ready to take it out. Hope this helps - bit long winded but if you're short on CC in the Moroes fight a frost mage is a perfectly viable option to keep one of them out of the equation long enough.
