That would take having a number of devs dedicated to class balance, and clearly small indie company couldn’t afford that.
They don’t fix unbalanced specs because they’re afraid of ruining pvp.
Ha Ha Ha Ha, sorry, I couldn’t type that with a straight face.

Class balance is the hardest thing to accomplish for the devs.
Blizzard really screwed the playerbase over the last 2 expansions. Legion and bfa kinda forced people to play 1 spec most the expansion. and look. now we got people claiming to be very good players but cant even play their entire class.
Sorry dude but gone are the days of you identifying yourself as a frost mage… you are a MAGE. Learn the other 2 specs
Maybe I don’t find the other specs fun to play? I guess its just reroll or quit, ill probably end up quitting if they don’t do anything about it.
What is the point in pouring more time into a spec that I dont even find fun to play? I used to enjoy fire back in wotlk, but its just not fun for me in its current state, I hate specs entirely based around a single cooldown.

This is your problem.
Typically if a spec is good in a specific content it isn’t good in others.
Example. Affliction is great in raids, destro is good in arenas, demo is good in mythic+.
Destro isn’t bad because it’s not great in mythic+, it’s actually balanced.
This is the problem with a spec like feral, that’s typically good in arenas beast cleave but because it’s good there blizzard doesn’t let it be good in raids/ mythics.
Statistics say demon hunters are trash
i say bad players are worse than statistics https://puu.sh/H2xdC/887937df9e.png

Frost mage is trash at everything. Personally I’ve unsubbed. I thought that with there being the added penalty of changing covenants for different specs that blizzard would put some serious effort into balancing this xpac, apparently not.

Right now personally fire by far is the easier spec and best hitting. I play frost PVP mostly but some PVE, and the damage just isn’t enough still. I just wish not just frost mage but all classes were as least somewhat close. Hardest hit I’ve ever done on my frost mage is 27k and that’s with all my cds and the biggest shatter I can do at 205 ilvl. I also have decent vers and haste and I feel like I can’t kill anything without help. Right now by far frost either one needs somewhat of a rework or a buff to frost bolt cause doing 1500 dps every cast just isn’t fulfilling. I feel like I can’t kill on my own and I’ve been playing for years as frost since Wrath
Shoosh! Enhancement Shamans are raid viable and actually wanted in groups now, don’t ruin this for us OP! 
Yeah with other classes have multiple we basically have one big cool down that is 3 minutes long and doesn’t increase dps but just increases the cast time of spells.
WoW has has had class balance since NEVER
I know it’s not the point of this topic, but this feedback means literally nothing.
Fire is one of the most fluid specs IMO. The interaction between Heating Up/Hot Streak, Fireball/Pyroblast travel time, and the oGCD instant nature of Fire Blast is one of the most well-designed things in WoW’s combat, period.
(It’s just a Shame that that’s the entirety of the spec).
Well you are wrong now. No class or spec balance mention at all
To be fair ptr for 9.0.5 has a lot of changes, although disappointed with some Ele Nerfs and lack of Warlock Buffs, they are happening…Warlock Legendaries got buffed…
Although still waiting for Fire Mages and Balance Druids to be tuned.
Frost isn’t nearly as bad as you’re making it out to be unless you’re talking about very organized m+ groups. Frost has the best (arguable) consistent 5 target aoe/funnel in the game and will out perform fire in a majority of pugs. Not to mention frost is much easier to play than fire if we’re assuming optimal rotation.
I agree with your premise btw, just not your specific example.
