The Cataclysm NDA (non-disclosure agreement) has been lifted today, so we can expect to see new information from the beta flooding the internet, yay!

MMO-Champion already published a compilation of the mage talents/spells for the upcoming expansion, and it looks fine!

Some goodies I've found:

Spreading Chill spreads the chill effects to 1/2 additional targets on Frostbolt crits
Improved Cone of Cold freezes the targets for 2/4 seconds
Improved Polymorph delays damage taken by the target by 1.5/3 seconds
Arcane Repulsion gives all of your armor buffs the ability to knock back and slow an attacker, once per minute
Arcane Instability increases the damage of your next spell by 20/4/60% when one of your spells is pushed back or interrupted
Improved Mana Gem increases your damage by 1/2/3% of your maximum mana for the next 10 seconds after using a mana gem
Arcane Tactics is a raid-wide buff that increases damage

I don't understand Arcane Instability, more damage when pushbacked, but.. our anti-pushback talent is now only a 2 point talent!

I haven't gave it much thought, but I'd say 1 point in anti-pushback and 3 in Instability.
But, I guess you mathmagician can give a better answer.
