Yes I agree that damaging a group can be very good. Let me quote the arreat summit though on glacial spike. "Effect: A shard of ice that inflicts massive cold damage and explodes to freeze nearby enemies.
A more powerful spell than Ice Blast, Glacial Spike fires much faster than Ice Blast, and does an area Freeze attack that Freezes monsters within a radius of 2.6 yards." So the way I read that is that it only really damages what it hits and then it freeezes everything around it. The other monsters while frozen wouldn't be taking any damage from the splash. I don't know if that is correct, but that is how I interpreted it.
