Frostfire Bolt isn't capable of proccing Brain Freeze, which is intended to sway the equation back in favor of Frostbolt. I believe Blizzard wants Frost to use Frostbolt, so even if Frostfire Bolt...

Using that formula you get:

10 / (45 + (.5 / .25) = 10 / 47 = 21.2%

What you want is:

10 / (45 + (2 / .25) = 10 / 53 = 18.8%
