However, if you improve the cast time of each spell so that Fireball is 3.0 and Frostbolt is 2.5, Frostbolt actually gains more damage per second from damage gear than Fireball.

The context of the discussion is important. My comment related to the mana efficiency of the spells. Fireball derives more mana efficiency per point of +damage than Icebolt.

It seems like a skill that's designed for mages who want to play a niche role in raids. Having a few ice mages keep Winter's Chill up would help every ice mage in the raid do damage. It becomes a very powerful spell if you think of it as you granting five or so people an extra 5% crit.
