Keep your eyes open for water elementals and avoid them. If you have to fight Frost resistent mobs, just use fire realizing that the fight is going to be a little more draining on your mana and health.

There was a thread about resistant mobs a couple months ago.
If you find it, could you link to it? I searched for "resistant" with no results. I searched for "immune" and got tons of results.
Additional question: Is anything resistant/immune to Arcane?
Edit:
I guess the "spell reflect for the school you're using" could count, I'm not sure how that works. Or if you could bluff them by casting one spell not of your typical magic category, wait for their spell reflect, then cast your normal spells (or if spell stealing would just be simpler).
I cannot think of any mobs that are immune or highly resistant to Arcane spells, but I'm sure there are a few somewhere in the World of Warcraft.
That said, the amount of mobs that are immune to a certain school of Magic, in your case Frost, are so few that it's really not worth switching specs. For those few times you do come across a Frost immune mob tossing a Fireball/Arcane Missiles will do just fine. Yes, it'll cost a little more mana and do a little less damage than your Frost spells, but it's really not that big of a deal.
At level 75 (a while away for you, I know) you'll learn Frostfirebolt, which will completely remove the whole immunity aspect as it isn't affected by Fire or Frost immunity (unless the mob is immune to both schools, but I think you can count all the mobs that are immune to both schools on one hand).

I think the biggest thing for me is changing the play style. With Frost, it's pretty rare that the foes even hit my mage. Snares and Blink and Ice Barrier prevent a whole lot of damage.
Better than changing specs or wasting money on dual spec this early. I generally had my Arcane/Fire spells on action bar 2, and Frost spells on action bar 1. Fireball, Arcane Missile, Fire Blast when they're in close. You can still use Ice Barrier and Blink anyway.
