FN - BlinkFollow

I'll admit, I might not be the best person to be thinking about this. I probably think a lot more than healthy, and my mage is only level 48 because I got tired of being ganked and just rolled a different toon.
I really should get back to him...

Anyway..! I'm looking up on the mage forum because it's late, I'm bored, have nothing to do and won't be tired for probably another 2+ hours.

I understand frost nova to blink is a fairly effective way of escaping, but a fifteen second cooldown kind've sucks in a BG or PvP, because it might not SEEM like a lot of time, but it can damn sure be enough to have you go "Aughlurbleburble."
I have a UD fire mage, and I can't help but laugh when I hear him die and post that in guild/general when I feel like it.

Back to the point, if you're going to frost nova someone, you have about eight seconds to just RUN. If you blink immediately, that's an extra 20 yards right there, but you have to wait and sometimes you NEED that freedom from stun, snares, etc.
So, from what I tended to do was frost nova, run, then when they've broken free I blink if they start getting too close for my liking.

That makes no sense whatsoever. If you blink straight away, then in 15 seconds you can blink again, it greatly increases the chance blink will be off cd ready for you to use it again, if they are that persistent, and get more distance between you and your enemy.

To summarise: 2 blinks>1 blink

Well a mage dies within 15 seconds and if you don't got blink you die every time.
