Every mage talent in the beta client (ForeverDiff data), with what's new or changed from Classic. No hard point maps until launch.
What changed
Arcane Blast was redesigned (each cast adds 15% of Intellect as spell damage and raises its own cost, up to 4 stacks), and Arcane Wrath and Missile Barrage are new Arcane talents. Fire gains Heating Up, Fire Power now scales with your Fire effects on the target, and Combustion counts only non-periodic crits. Frost gains Ice Lance and Fingers of Frost, and Winter's Chill now boosts Cone of Cold damage instead of Frost crit chance. See Blizzard's development notes for the full history.
Capstones in the client data: Arcane: Arcane Power; Fire: Combustion; Frost: Ice Barrier.
