Figured i would compile a list of all the recent changes on the PTS for mages that we can look forward to in 4.1 and put them into one thread for people to quickly look at. These changes are all on the PTS now, not 100% if they will all go live and as always, subject to change.
They are posted in order from oldest to most recent, so some changes might counter dict each other but just know the lower in the list, is the most current.
I will continue to update this list as more changes are added. Most recent updates will be marked with RED (Up to date as of 4/24/17)
Synergy Crystals - Healing effects should no longer incorrectly interact with HoT effects. Tooltips in synergy crystals are now more clear about this.

-Pyromancer's Blessing icd reduced to 3 seconds. Tooltip now mentions this ICD.
-Legendary Fire Storm converted to Aura (PVP behavior now mimics Necrotic Core). Fixed a bug causing Fire Storm to scale much better with spell power than was intended.

-Veil damage penalty affects non Chloromancer damage.
-Rapidly casting Natural Healing now correctly grants stacks of Boon of Life as expected.
