So if they do nothing further, they will/have to do something once 5.4 and the season is live. The funny thing is, pvp and pve both have the same problem now: Our new mastery is tied too much to casting now and lost it´s burst ability. So once where have to move or a lot or multi dot, frost suffers a huge loss of it´s mastery.
Giving us control to our icicles will not solve one of this problems, but it would do what you have described: A better player can get more out of the spec. Oh PvPers would hate the df solution, because of spell dispel. Pretty interesting to watch the problems trough a pvp point of view. They really hate the changes ^^
