I hope that buff is going to be purgable.

Icy Veins is purgable and since Ice Lance doesn't have a snare component it is incapable of proccing frostbite. I would be more concerned with them popping Icy Veins with Blizzard since that would be a 25% chance to root every 0.8 seconds.

I've been leveling an Enh Shaman lately and I'm getting close to the point where I will start doing the Arenas and I was wondering if it would be worth using both PvP trinkets for the Arenas? Does using one start a cooldown on the other? Also is it worth keeping a fast offhand with FT to swap in for a "hard" target like a paladin or a warrior or when going for interrupts on a healer?

Yes.

Hitting one PvP trinket will trigger CD on the other.

Not only that, hitting the one with 5min CD will give the 2min version a 5min CD too.

Not only that, it's even worse for a rogue (excepting possibly a mutilate rogue), since it'll put stuns from Mace specialisation on DR.
