17-32% change of crit is pretty good (more for you ribbit noobs) though I will admit it isn't as good as aimed obviously.
2) the 3 second stun 25% chance may as well mean death for rogues or mages in a 1v1 encounter.
3) Even though without crit the initial impact is only so much more than ice. That lil extra makes a huge difference in how many pvp kills you take in a mob. The ticks will not get you many kills from ice except the occasional lucky from the grave kill.
4) the slow / whatever from ice isn't doing nothing the 2 other fireballs 3 slags and the other 50 stuns thrown out in every pvp match.
So I still stick with previous statement
Pvp + elite boss - lightning
Tombs, mobs, etc - ice
