In the video above, he focuses on the Frost tree. You can see the control that Frost provides specifically - the freezing effects actually seem to last a remarkably long time, certainly long enough to set up a nice chain of abilities and spells for maximum damage. A Hungering Cold (http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?spell=49203) followed by a Deathchill (http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?spell=49796) and finished up with a Howling Blast (http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?spell=51411) can be particularly devastating. Jadefury also points out that if you have any lingering diseases on any of your targets, you can use Blood Boil (http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?spell=49941) to quickly wipe them out, doing extra damage and making them susceptible to being frozen again.
Frost, reports Jadefury, is probably the least solo-friendly build. Because you need to go very deep into the frost tree to get all the abilities you need for maximum control and damage, You can't get the self-sustainability talents in the Blood tree such as Vendetta (http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?spell=50154). That said, Frost should still be amazing for groups, since you'll be able to provide some very passable crowd control and damage, and I myself am still looking forward to seeing what a good Frost Mage/Death Knight team can do in PvP.
