Would like to have a competitive frost dd build, but no.
With the change to frost staff this was really predictable. Ice is the magical element of tanking and protecting in ESO. Frost staffs gives damage shields and taunt. Frost Warden heals, gives protection buffs and crowd control. Its the way it is now : / Kinda wanted a frost mage too but its frost tank now. But at least frost mage warden still works in PvP with a HP based Magicka set up. Lots of HP and magicka with points into Elemental Expert can be pretty nice.
At this point i'm thinking why even give the frost damage passive since you will probably use a fire staff anyway, i guess you could get like 1 % more dps from force pulse, but whatever.....
I also don't think sleet storm will out dps meteor or elemental rage, so yea....
.
Because tanks need to be able to Solo, too. Not everything is about damage dealers.
Tanks don't do much damage, so it's a negligible buff

Wardens can, with their abilities that scale of Max Health, like Arctic Winds damage morph and Impaling Shards. So the extra % in frost damage helps more than you might thing, especially if they also put points into Elemental Expert.

Any word on the morphs? I've had a look around and I'll be damned if I can find them anywhere.
I noticed someone posted some info for one of the morphs scaling off of health?
I'd be interested to hear about the Winter's Embrace line...
Thanks!

Impaling shards and arctic wind scale with health. Not sure how the scaling will impact shards, but arctic wind has a morph that deals damage to nearby enemies equal to the health it restores. It heals 12% max health instantly, and then 2% every 2 seconds I think for 10 seconds. With 50k max health, that's 5500 aoe damage on activation and then 500 every 2 seconds.

Ummmmm 12% of 50,000 is 6,000...... and 2% is 1,000
