Tier Set Discussion: Non-gameplay-changing tier set. Slightly makes your Flurry and Ice Lance with Fingers Of Frost proc stronger, but your gameplay isn’t affected at all, whether you have or don’t have this tier set.

Trinkets
There are only a few, well-tuned trinkets currently in Midnight for Frost Mage, two from raid and one from dungeons.
Locus-Walker's Ribbon – A passive trinket that has a chance to grant you an Intellect buff. The longer you remain in combat, the stronger the buff becomes, and it quickly decays if you leave combat. Very similar to Eye Of Kezan trinket from The War Within expansion.
Emberwing Feather - a 2 minute on-use trinket which grants you haste and has a low chance to also decrease one of your secondary stats by a low amount. Great on-use trinket which you can combine with a Frozen Orb or Ray Of Frost. This is your BiS trinket.
Gaze Of The Alnseer – A passive trinket that has a chance to grant Intellect. Second BiS trinket.
Embellishments
The current best performing Embellishments in Midnight are Signet Of Azerothian Blessings and Stabilizing Gemstone Bandolier.
I recommend crafting Signet Of Azerothian Blessings first, since Stabilizing Gemstone Bandolier only enhances it, making the Bandolier useless as your first crafted item.
Signet Of Azerothian Blessings is a ring, so you cannot choose what to craft it on, and Stabilizing Gemstone Bandolier should be crafted on Wrists or Cloak.
Both of these Embellishments are BiS for both raid and M+.
