Frost gear definitely helps learning the encounters. It reduces the required healing by at least 25%, which is a pretty good amount. I've had some people tell me "I never use frost gear and I do just fine." But that of course neglects to mention anything about how much the healer(s) had to work to keep you alive.
When the encounter is well known by every person in the raid and we can kill him fast enough, then frost gear isn't required. Absolutely nobody should listen to some other guild who says "we don't use frost gear" because simply put - we ARE NOT that guild. We can NOT kill Hodir in 2 minutes. If we're close to the enrage timer, which we usually are, 25% less healing = good.
