Frost resistance

Frost resistance is useful in Naxxramas and PvP and vs. some undead mobs that have frost powers. In BC, many of the naga casters use frost spells. The first boss in Serpentshrine Cavern required one tank with heavy frost resistance and two with at least some.

Resistable spells

 * Hunter: Freezing Trap, Frost Trap
 * Mage: Blizzard, Cone of Cold, Frost Nova, Frostbolt, Ice Lance, Waterbolt, and Water Elemental's Freeze
 * Shaman: Frost Shock
