With all the Nerf threads, I gotta say, seems like a pretty legit diversity in builds.
Sure... They're all cheesy AF, but there's a lot
If it kills you its cheese, so anything that doesn't kill you is not cheese, unless it prevents you from killing them, then that's cheese too.
Simple.

Just Ice Blockade which nobody uses in PvE.
Problem is Ice blockade have 60% snare out of nowhere because other blockades just deals dmg at their basic forms where ice blockade deals dmg and applies 60% snare.

It also doesn't have a hard cc, only snares/immobilize and no extra damage mechanic.

Umm what ? What hard CC have to do with it and what damage mechanics You're talking about ?

Pros/Cons and whats available. Reason other blockades don't have a snare like ice does, is the fact they get:
- 8% direct/AOE
- 6% extra heavy attack dmg/50% dmg done on heavy attack in an AOE
- burning/concussed
- off balanced/extra dmg on burned targets
- fire dealing extra dmg to vamps
Ice gets:
- 60% snare + immobilze on chilled
- ranged immobilze
- chilled that gives minor maim
- block defense
- extra resists (if CP is selected)
I think it's pretty balanced.

Get real. Status effects , weapon passives and damage types have nothing to do with ability itself. It's like saying that major defile on lethal arrow is balanced because ability deals poison dmg and focused aim deals physical dmg. It sounds radicolous. You just bring this up because You lack argument for basic state of ice blockade having 1 additional effect over flame and lightning blockades so You try to look for any argument You can get outside of the skill itself where in fact there isnt any even there. It's kinda childlish move.
But continiuing Your logic :
1.chilled status effect (minor maim ) , burning status effect (flame dmg DoT) , concussed status effect (minor vulnerability) - seems balanced
2. flame staff (8% single target dmg) , lightning staff (8% AoE dmg) , ice staff (36% block cost reduction , 20% block mitigation) - seems balanced
3. flame blockade ( more dmg on targets with burning status effect) , lightning blockade (off balance on concussed target) , ice blockade (immobilize on chilled target AND 60% snare at base) - seems not quite balanced
For the record all blockades dmg tooltip is the same. You think that because other staves are more dmg oriented and ice staff isnt that makes it somehow crippled and because of that one of the strongest snares in the game is requires to compensate for that but the truth is completly different and Your vision is just rigged. 60% snare is not balanced compensation for ice staff being more mitigation then damage oriented. It's just lame overlook of developer which now gets its glory days of abuse.
