So, my base spec is:
Agony: 11 points spent including picking up Echo of Power and Impending Doom
Calamity: 17 Points spent, including picking up Vision of Domination, Shadow of Disaster and Hand of Ruin
and my tactic loadout is Endless Knowledge, Vision of Domination, Shadow of Disaster and Frozen Fury
My new spec (as of last night) is
Agony: 14 points spent including picking up Echo of Power and Impending Doom and Swell of Gloom
Calamity: 14 Points spent, including picking up Vision of Domination, Shadow of Disaster and Hand of Ruin
and tactics are the same except FF has been dropped in favour of Swell of Gloom
So, ultimately, I lose a small amount of WoP/VoT/HoR/CW damage and boost AB/FB/DB/ID/EoP by a touch, so these pretty much cancel out
which only leaves the difference between SoG and FF
Ignoring the backlash component of SoG (as in group play its pretty irrelevant anyway) its a guaranteed 628 damage (according to my tooltip) every rotation (additional burst!)
Whereas FF boosts the proc chance of frozen touch to 75% from 25%
some simple mathhammering now...
I'm only concerned about the damage during the burst window, during which time these spells will land on an opponent...
CW (one tick)
VoT
WoP
AB

ID
HoR (one tick)
Assuming FT can proc off dot spells (not sure, will test) then with FF slotted (75% chance) you get 5.25 procs at around 200 damage per proc for 1050 damage total
If it doesn't proc off dot spells, then its only going to proc 3 times for around 600 damage total
So, with SoG slotted instead of FF,
Assuming FT procs off dot spells, its going to proc 1.75 times for around around 220 damage per proc (additional points in agnony boosting the damage slightly) for a total of 385 damage
If it doesn't proc off dot spells, then it will only proc once, for 220 damage total
And to this needs adding the 628 damage from SoG itself
In summary...
FF Procs of Dots | FF doesn't proc off dots | |
FF slotted | 1050 total damage | 600 total damage |
SoG Slotted | 1013 total damage | 848 total damage |
So, for pure damage numbers, FF performs slightly higher if it procs off dots but if it doesn't then SoG massively outperforms it
However, even with the slight damage boost for FF if it procs off dots, I think the additional burst potential from SoG would make it worthwhile
Anyway, I'll play with this spec for a week or two and start checking my combat logs to see exactly what FT can proc off
