When that was mentioned previously, I was thinking that it was to see what she has that can be dispelled. Would the frostbolt debuff also push off DoTs? My thought is that it would but would this then make the mage tops on the aggro list at landing? If not, it would be nice to be able to add a little damage while removing a DoT, but that is probably too much to hope for.

Onyxia is immune to the frostbolt debuff, I believe. Even if she wasn't, it would be inadvisable to use it. One of the secrets of the Onyxia encounter is that she starts caring about aggro again once she shouts, not once she lands. There's about four or five seconds between her "It seems you'll need another lesson, mortals!" yell and her actually touching the ground, and if you hit her in that window she WILL remember it. Frostbolting during that period means that you'll be first to be squished once she reaches the floor.
