Chilled chance from Frozen Watcher benefitting passives?

Hey everyone,
I haven't looked into the pts yet but this set did strike me when reading the patch notes. It's probably not BiS but I really like the design, especially for my frostden. One thing that I'd like to know is if the 15% chance to chill enemies actually is multiplied by destro passives (200%), charged weapons (200%), and even warden passives (200%). That would mean 15%is multiplied by 2/4/8 if the math behind this was correct, resulting in an almost guaranteed AoE chilled status.

Frozen Watcher (Heavy)
2 – Adds 1096 Maximum Stamina
3 – Adds 1206 Maximum Health
4 – Adds 1096 Maximum Stamina
5 – Summon a blizzard around you while blocking, inflicting 1000 Frost Damage every 1 second to enemies within your blizzard. Your blizzard has a 15% chance of inflicting Chilled on enemies damage.

That'd be a very cool (got it ;)) synergy and would work really well with the Wall of Frost from destro staff.

Any insights on that?

    All those %s are additive together, then multiplied by the original % chance.

    Base Status Effect Chance:
    Weapon enchants 20%
    Standard ability 10%
    Area of effect abilities 5%
    Damage over time abilities 3%
    Area of effect damage over time abilities 1%

    Destro staff doubles these.
    Destro + charged is 3.2 *.
    Wardens passive only effects winters embrace skill line.

    My guess is the 15% is seperate from this math. The ability is probably considered damage over time area of effect, which means it's ice DMG has 1% to proc chilled. 2% with staff and 3.2% with charged staff.

    So it should be 18.2% using a charged staff to proc chilled using this set effect.

    This is what im curious about. AoE dots have, as you have outlined, a very limited chance to apply secondary effects.
