I am curious if this enchant is beneficial for a Prot Paladin, at least for single-tank content where there is unlikely to be a TC happening (heroics, kara, etc.).

I am curious if the melee/spell proc rates would be very much like the enhancement rates - would it proc separately for seal of righteousness hit versus weapon hit, does it proc on reckoning, etc.

Intuitively, it would seem that because it is frost damage vs the holy damage benefit of spellpower, it would not be as good for threat generation. However, the 15% reduction in attacks would be beneficial, particularly for fast-hitting mobs such as Prince (phase 2), Halazzi, etc. And depending on the uptime of the 8-second debuff, it seems a no-brainer for a fight like the Shade of Aran (longer spell casts increase chance of interrupt, cause him to cast fewer spells, use less mana, avoid the polymorph) if you don't have an enhancement shaman in the party.

Lastly, I wonder how this enchant looks when evaluating it as a swap-to enchant rather than a full-time enchant. I wonder if it would be useful to use Deathfrost until a proc, then swap to +dmg for 20 seconds or so, then swap back to the Deathfrost weapon. Perhaps via an add-on similar to what Caster Weapon Swap does for Spellsurge.
