You're going deep frost.
Here's your spec at level 26:

Here it is again at at 38:

notice the backfills. Now build towards this:

One thing to note: this NOT an AoE grinding build. That spec is well documented, explained, and even demonstrated in YouTube videos, you'll need to respec (most notably, losing the 3/3 Frostbite).
But straight leveling, especially early, you need it for the additional control. Everything else is pretty stock. After you fill out that spec at 66 (63 if you respec early without the Frostbite), people start debating.
Your rotation is quite simple:
Frostbolt, repeat until it's too close, Cone of Cold. Back up and hit another frostbolt. You can add other instant cast spells for variety when the thing is close to dying. When you get your Water Elemental, you can mix that in on tougher mobs.
Remember your Frost/Ice armor. Pop Icy Veins on tougher mobs .. it's pretty straight forward.
This.
The only thing I might add is that you should have
Ice Barrier
up at all times. That's the main reason for being in Frost, IMO. I was able to survive in Fire, and am doing well now in Arcane (playing around with it) but I have been a Frost mage primarily since I rolled. Ice Barrier is what will keep you alive when the fecal matter hits the oscillating air mover.

Although, Frost is primarily the best spec for solo. IMO, I have an easier time taking mobs down by just dotting them up with whatever fire abilities I have... Keep in mind though, I speak high leveled.
I would go Frost until you can get Living Bomb, then respec, and reignite the passion for fire and start the chaos all over with blowing stuff up with your mind :). Start out with Pyroblast though, or you'll never get anything done. :)
If you maximize your leveling as fire, you should NOT be using pyro, it's boring but fireball>fireball>fireball>fireball>fireball...you get the idea. Pyro has a long cast time for a little more damage plus a pretty heavy dot (which won't get to run its full duration). So in essence, if you use pyro, then you are wasting time.
Frost rotation (which I recommend) would be the similar frostbolt>frostbolt>frostbolt>frostbolt>frostbolt>frostbolt>frostbolt>frostbolt maybe throw a nova or two in for those big crits. Using CoC, fireblast etc will only increase your drinking time.
