Hi,
One thing I don't understand here : why can't you keep cannot be frozen while having knockback with Lycander's ? Cannot be frozen is prolly on one of your rings (ravenfrost), and knockback either on your bow with a nef rune (but this isn't the option you chose), or on crafted hitpower gloves (or cleglaw).
If you currently have nice rare/crafted blood gloves with nice mods (20%IAS, +to stats), you could possibly craft similar gloves with the hitpower recipe, and get knockback on them, so I don't why there is
Could you be more precise as for the gear you use with your two bows ? What's the exact amount of cold damage on your matriarchal bow ?
Now, to help you decide... You fire at 2 frames for strafe with those two bows, so no difference : if strafe is your main skill, and since it's a physical damage skill, I would go for Lycander's - or try to trade for a better %ED one.
You don't care about your physical damage when using freezing arrow, provided you have enough mana leech to use it constantly. If freezing arrow is your main attack (depending on the situations, might be the case in the cow level for e.g.), then your matriarchal bow could be better, firing one frame faster.
But it depends on your overall gear as well, I think we need to know what you exact gear you use to help you decide.
