I agree that frozen orb does mediocre damage, but with cold mastery at lvl 20 it lowers the monsters cold resistance by quite alot. Blizzard on the other hand, Does a crap load of damage and can kill monsters easily. But if you want a dueling sorc, frozen orb is more advisable because blizzard has a cooldown so it might not be able to hit an enemy which is moving alot. But if you ARE dueling, you can cast a blizzard on yourself so that when they get close to you, they must take serious damage (glacial spi2ke is sometimes used, but its usually a bad choice :P
