Threat Reduction Details:
This effect gives a flat value reduction in threat generation per spell cast.
-100 Threat: Frostbolt, Scorch
-20 Threat: Arcane Missiles, Fireball
As you can see, the Netherwind set favors Frost Magi over Fire Magi due to the higher threat reduction on Frostbolt than Fireball. It also favors Frost Magi due to the 8 piece bonus only activating on the primary Frost nuke (Frostbolt) whilst not activating off the more mana efficient Fire nuke (Scorch).

The way threat reduction works is that fireballs get 20 threat redux on the initial fireball, then 20 off of each tick. AM gets 20 taken off per bolt.
Now lets make it over time and see how it works:
Fireball, 40 redux per 3 seconds, assuming you refresh your fireball DoT
Frostbolt, 100 redux per 2.5 seconds
Scorch, 100 redux per 1.5 seconds
AM, 100 redux per 5 seconds
Fireball = 13.3 redux per second
Frostbolt = 40 redux per second
Scorch = 66.7 redux per second
AM = 20 redux per second, however, AM doesnt need it as much because of Arcane Subtlety.
Scorch plays an important part in raid DPS - to steal and augment ignites, while keeping up the scorch debuff. Furthermore, all mages on aggro intensive fights that are fire speced use scorch, and this would give on top of that a nice, solid 66.7 redux per second.
Best for scorching mages, 2nd for frost, 3rd for fireball mages, because arcane mages don't need any redux help :P

The 8/8 set bonus is indeed one of the strongest in WoW. Especially in PvP. Arcane specced mage can do the following to do enormous burst:
Sheep target - Arcane pow. - Pyro - PoM - Pyro and few Fireballs hoping for a proc - Finish with instants if not procced.

Apparently Potions are now available in Dalaran that will transform your character's appearance into that of a mage fully decked out in Netherwind Regalia, which sounds pretty fun.

I think this is by far the most cool looking set in game. I literally ripped my hair out when they ""accidentally"" changed it's apperance in a patch. I wanted this set so badly I ran BWL loads of times. Only got 3 items when Naxx came and ruined it all.<div class=""quote"">Here's what Netherwind Regalia looked like before patch 1.09:

<del>May be seeing a nerf to the 8-piece bonus come 5.3. It is currently on the PTR.</del> The 5.3 change to the 8-piece set bonus is already live for 5.2, it will merely be a tooltip update. See: https://vanillawowdb.com/?spell=22008"">(Spell #22008) <div class=""quote"">Netherwind Focus: 10% chance after casting Arcane Missiles, Fireball, or Frostbolt to reduce the cast time of Arcane Blast, Fireball, and Frostbolt by 10% for 10 sec. 10 sec cooldown.</div>Why it's received a nerf so many years later is uncertain.
