Enduring Winter (formerly Improved Water Elemental) is a talent in the Frost tree, you will need to spend 44 points in Frost to max it.
Mechanics
3/3 Enduring Winter is problematic for raid-wide replenishment, since as the buff is refreshed with every cast of Frostbolt, it'll very often be reset before it can properly tick and an odd tick cooldown will be placed, screwing up raid mana.
For instance, if you have a 1.9 Frostbolt due to combined raid effects, there is a whoppinh 1.9 second distance between ticks, seriously hurting raid mana regeneration.
In a raid environment, using 1/3 [Enduring Winter] is currently agreed upon as best choice for being Frost or offering Replenishment. You'll lose pet uptime, but that's still better than wrecking your raid's casters.
