Thesis: Frostbite should not be triggered while other Root Spells are active:
Now i will start to look for a point / other example on how to implement frostbite not triggering when another mage root spell is present, maybe even all root spells, need more videos to be more sure that this is actually a blizzlike fix.
This will be worked / researched on in a new topic.
Well, ok

And here's a doom squad guy if u don't like asian pro players :D http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9yjzz_agramon-2-part1_videogames 1:37 : proc frostbite, 1:38 frost nova (we can't clearly see about the dr here), 1:47 frost nova (from elem), only 1 dr applied.
And i wanted to add something else : Frostbite shouldn't be able to proc if the target is already under a freeze effect (frost nova/freeze), because nova effects last longer. Even if there are only 2s remaining from the nova, frostbite still shouldn't be able to proc.

Roots, stuns and slows share the same dr as mage.
Let's say a war charges my opponent. My novas (from elem or my char, it's the same) will get a dr (root for 4 sec instead of 8), and my slows too.
If i slow my opponent after a root, a slow or a stun (pounce, charge, nova, coc, w/e), the duration will get affected by a dr too. So my cone of cold will last 5s instead of 11, my frostbolt 6sec, etc.
And ofc, after 3 slows/roots/stuns, my opponents are immune to slows/roots (except for blizzard spec's slow, because it's a physical debuff i guess, and it doesn't trigger a dr from frostbite too).
I set is as a critical bug as a frost mage because this spec is just unplayable atm. Any melee class is immune to slows/roots after 4sec of fight, so we can't do any damage(no fb/icelance on freezed target)/control.
