Icy Veins is a talent trained mage spell that increases the casting speed of all spells by 20% and increases the chance to avoid interruption caused by damage while casting any spell by 100% while active.
Notes
Icy Veins does not reduce casting time of mage spells by 20%, instead it actually grants the mage a 20% spell haste, which means casting time is reduced by (100%-100%/120%)=16.67%. As of 2.4, the tooltip states the correct effect - previously it stated a flat 20% increase.
Under the effects of Icy Veins, spells that normally take 3 seconds to cast will then take 2.5 seconds. Spells that were 2.5 seconds will then cast in 2.08 seconds. Spells that cast in 1.5 seconds will then cast in 1.25 seconds.
Icy Veins does stack with 
[Bloodlust] and 
[Heroism] buffs from shamans, and 
[Power Infusion] from priests.
Like all haste effects, Icy Veins will speed up all channeled spells, such as 
[Blizzard], 
[Arcane Missiles], and even 
[Evocation]. Note that spells will cast at the faster cast time even if the Icy Veins buff expires while mid-cast or mid-channel, meaning that the buff is effectively longer than the 20 second buff duration. For example, starting to cast a 
[Pyroblast] with Icy Veins about to expire in half a second will still cast a Pyroblast that finishes in 5 seconds.
A deep arcane mage with PoM, 
[Arcane Power] and Icy Veins will be a force to be reckoned with in most PvP warfare.
Like most temporary self buffs, Icy Veins can be used off the global cooldown, and does not trigger it.
