Yeah, kinda looking forward to this patch and kind of not for my future witchy :<.
From the nexon forums (lol.) and the things I know that are changed are correct so...I suppose this is creditable <_<.
This is the Mage patch S2 Act 3 we're getting after the priest patch. I have no credit on this, I'm just translating it into English.

IMO, the biggest nerfs were somewhat necessary. Yes, most grabs do give invincibility frames and some have huge aoes too (effing spiral T_T) but they actually need to GRAB something lol. And more invincibility frames taken out of florae collider and ice car which in a pvp standpoint is just broken <_<.
But yeah...is it just me, or is it REALLY hard to pick between witch elements? Honestly, the only skills I don't like are like....florae....furnace and....that's pretty much it <_<. Fire gives amazing zoning and aoe, dark is the win for pvp and EMM is just sexy to merit an entire friendly max to it @_@. I mean, I do want ice car too but I'm still not sure about giving up fire for it..., I like nothing else in the ice line and the frames are taken out for it later :/.
