Mage Changes: High Hopes?

While there's no solid information yet, a recent post by community manager Tseric in the mage forums makes the future sound promising.  He tells us that the developers are looking into making the fire/frost "elementalist"
style build more viable and notes that, for some, it may be "like getting the toy you asked Santa for."    As for me, I'll just say I'm cautiously optimistic.  Anything you're hoping to see -
or not see -in the upcoming talent review?
