Seems to be a throwback to the Diablo 2 Sorceress's Frozen Orb.

Frost bomb always grant brain freeze when it explodes.

Also frost bomb take into account your spellpower when it explodes and not when you apply it like other dots.

This is the spellID of the actual Talent as well as the debuff applied to your target if your Frost Bomb didn't miss.

You might also need to refer to Mage Bomb.

(There is no standard pattern for assignment of duplicate or separate spell IDs, so this information might be useful to some players, especially AddOn and Macro authors).

FYI: for Warlords of Draenor:

Frost Bomb Is no longer actually a bomb. It has no cooldown, it does not explode, it does not trigger Brain Freeze... this is how it works:

Frost Bomb places a debuff on the target that last for 12 seconds.
When ever you strike the target affected by the Frost Bomb debuff with a frozen Ice Lance (that is to say an Ice Lance affected by Fingers of Frost), it explodes dealing damage X damage to that target and 1/2X damage all other targets within 10yards range.
If you don't cast Ice Lance (and the target is not frozen or the Ice Lance doesn't consume a charge of Fingers of Frost) then it doesn't do anything... it just expires.

To use this talent effectively you pool 2 charges of Fingers of Frost, cast the debuff and then consume charges by casting Ice Lance twice, or you cast the debuff, then toss out your Frozen Orb and spam Ice Lance as much as you can within Frozen Orb's 10-second duration overlapping with Frost Bomb's 12 second duration.

I don't get why this spell has been changed.
The fire and arcane versions still perform damage without you doing anything but the first cast.

The changes will bring more management and buff watching.

Unless the damage will be incredible, I just don't see the point of this talent anymore.
