fire pvp has no survivability.. The last thing you want to do is "jump in the middle of".... well anything.. and i'd say that for frost and arcane as well.. Flamestrike is nice with the fire modifier talents, but you'll still have to hope enough people sit in the ring for it to work well enough for the time it takes. You'd be better off just OOMing yourself with nothing but living bombs on everyone in sight. you'll see so many ticks, and when they start exploding... if you're still alive.. just sit there and lul yourself silly.
Your fire pvp spec isn't bad, but personally, i'd consider taking the points out of arcane fortitude and putting them into improved scorch. In a 1v1 situation, you don't want to have to wait for yourself to get to <35% health to start letting off some damage, and the increased crit chance is actually quite helpful. Make scorch your main nuke in 1v1s, cause that's about your only hope.
Also, i really don't like the change they made to impact.. (10% chance to make your next fireblast stun? ugh... i liked it better when all fire spells had a 10% chance to stun). I would personally invest those in either burning soul or master of elements cause the mana back is helpful.... (and that's about the only time i'd say that for a pvp spec)

morious, using frostfire in pvp is rather dangerous. If you get an interrupt, then it locks you out of both frost, AND fire spells. that is more than 2/3's of your spell book, not to mention your biggest life saving device, ICE BLOCK.
if you're not a deep frost spec, then your biggest form of survivability is crushing your opponent before he knows what the hell happened, and if some random shaman you didn't see catches you casting a FFB, and hits you with an earth shock, then all you can do is blink away or invis and hope no one else notices you for the next 6 seconds.

Sounds like fun. So play it. That's why I play the game.
If I could, I would want this many specs:
Arena: Arcane (for 2v2)
Arena: Frost (for 3v3 and 5v5, and generally for more competitive play)
BG: Arcane (loner spec)
BG: Arcane or Fire (glass cannon spec for when I run with my 2 healers)
BG: Flag Runner spec (it just looks like fun)
Duels: Frost...just a couple tweaks make the difference between the Arena & Duel spec I would use
PvE: Fire (this spec exists solely to round out PvP gear for other specs...PvE is boooooooooorrrring)
But like Achloryn says, Fire has no survivability. I just don't ever see a fire mage dealing nearly as much damage as the good Arc mages in BG's. And they suck even worse at killing blows. For all their damage potential, the truth is that PvP isn't about damage, but about control; this is the difference between PvE Damage (rotspamming) and PvP damage (requires precision and planning based around a knowledge of your opponent's abilities). If you don't control your opponent, you won't damage him; if you don't damage him, you won't kill him.

I completed my Wrecking Ball achievement as deep Fire.
That's impressive. Nevertheless, I've gotten more Wrecking Balls than I can count, and I'm not a WoW God or anything.
But for fun, yeah. Now I kinda wanna see if I can match you.
