We cannot foresee any real situation in which this is an optimization even top end players attempt to do. All effort at attempting to min-max this small of a gain should instead be spent on optimizing your normal gameplay, as you will see larger gains out of that, be it through minimizing movement or getting more comfortable with the flow of a fight, allowing you to plan things out like how to AoE more effectively, or simply minimizing your downtime.
Technically, there are a few soft caps, yes. They are not obtainable caps, and should not be worried about. Regardless, they are here for the sake of information. This is what people are usually referring to in regards to any form of Haste cap.
Due to the spec having Icy Veins , this has historically been something Frost Mages have bumped up against. Any other caps that are mentioned are soft caps, such as the number of spells you could fit into a single Rune of Power or trinket effect, boss vulnerability timer, or the amount of Haste required to bring a cast time spell down to GCD cap.
Most of these should not be worried about in standard play. There is a Shatter cap, at This is the point that all spells considered frozen will crit. As to how much is needed, that will depend on your gear and how you sim. While stat weights are not a great idea for soft caps like Shatter , due to how they're calculated, the gear comparisons will always ring true. You should always simulate your gear options, no matter what. Simulating will be how anyone, including top end theorycrafters, raiders, and people in the Altered Time Discord Questions channel, will provide help to you.
Technically, Dwarf for single target. Vold Elf would be the better option for both single target and AoE, although Lightforged will win raw AoE simply due to their massive AoE burst racial.

Torghast, Tower of the Damned. I read icy veins. It talked about flurry always following Glacial Spike. That makes glacial spike shatter and then I use ice lance to shatter the freeze left over from glacial spike? To then do the GS-flurry-ice Lance? Welcome to the most frustrating part of the spec! This way, you always have the ability to use Flurry right after Glacial Spike, but at the same time you are not wasting procs via munching since unfortunately you can only hold 1 Brain Freeze at a time.
Generally not worth it though, just from a probability point of view, but this is the RNG nature of the spec that you always deal with no matter how much you scale. The rationale is that the GCD is better spent on casting another Frostbolt to generate another icicle so that you can get back up to Spike sooner.
Icy Veins has a very long duration, so you want to maximize its uptime combined with Rune of Power. Note - The most important thing to remember as a frost mage is always to use your blizzard and Frozen Orb on cooldown. You want to use your blizzard because it will help reduce the cooldown of your Frozen Orb. Positioning is crucial, and you want to try to position yourself correctly, so you are hitting two targets with splitting ice.
