Out of every corner I hear "Play ice mage" because they seem to be very strong.
Also I often hear that no other spec (arcane, fire) is really worth it because they deal less damage.
Is it true that the other specs make so much less damage?
and in general what are the pros and cons of every spec in detail, the official sites are very neutral on that? (arcane, fire, ice)

Ranking Dps in World of Warcraft is a hard thing to do but the following website is a good reference.
You can simulate the Dps of every class on 1 or 3 targets and depending on your gear level/quality at max level. In my Knowledge there is no equivalent to this when you are not at max level so this will be my base.
The specs rankings are the following for Bis (Best item possible in slot) :
(the rankings are on 26 as there are 26 Dps specs)
You can look at the different item levels, Frost is generally speaking the highest of the three specs and therefore the highest specs in terms of Dps, moreover it has a lot of controls with slows, etc.
