Freezing Arrow and Pierce probably has to get the not insofar as best AoE skill, hoever, Ice Arrow, when pumped, puts a significant increase onto the chill duration, which in Hell Diff helps. It also, at present adds your Physical Bow Damage to Ice, and last I used it, leached off of the combined damage.
If you line up the monsters, Ice Arrow and Pierce sure freeze a lot of them. I like the lower Mana Cost of Ice Arrow as well.'
If you are looking at damage potential, though, I'd have to say that until you get down to single monsters it is much better than Ice Arrow.
At present, Fire Arrow is just a one pot wonder for Auto Hit. Cold Arrow, if what you are aiming for is chill duration, can be good for that, but there are other ways to solve that without putting 20 points into Cold Arrow.
Of the three, Ice Arrow is the most useful, but Immolation and Freezing are certainly better AoE skills.
