Well, that would be a lie, EM specifically mentions next spell, not all spells cast within next however many miliseconds. Shatter on the other hand applies to all frost spells affecting a frozen target. Those spells may or may not break the freeze effect. In theory, you could have 10 mages hit a frozen target with 20 frostbolts and they would all validly have 50% improved crit chance.
Or are you saying shatter happens against targets that are no longer frozen? I wouldn’t even be surprised, but have not personally seen that. (But I only ever levelled with Shatter, and have been arcane frost or pve fire for literally a year now, so what do I know 
)
He is saying that the first spell would/could break the freeze and the second spell would not hit a frozen target. It COULD do that even after it was changed, same with Elemental Mastery, if you get a normal shock crit.
What is interesting about Elemental Mastery is the tooltip:
Elemental Mastery: When activated, this spell gives your next Fire, Frost, or Nature damage spell a 100% critical strike chance and reduces the mana cost by 100%.
It affect the next two spells in the same batch. But:
Elemental Focus: Gives you a 10% chance to enter a Clearcasting state after casting any Fire, Frost, or Nature damage spell. The Clearcasting state reduces the mana cost of your next damage spell by 100%.
This does not affect the next two spells in the same batch.
So it’s interesting, what is the difference between these two spells? I donno myself. Why does this happen for EM and not EF. I bet even Blizzards didn’t know in Vanilla
