On the B4 subject: It's a badly designed spell, yes. But it doesn't generate big issues unless you're pre 70. So It doesn't really need to be changed, even though it would be cool if it was.
Personally I do kind of like it the way it is. If you're looking for MAXIMUM GAINS, it forces a level of engagement as it is now, as there are some cases where you -want to skip it-. Making it always good just means there's no thought in it.

I'd focus on making Blizzard 2 and Freeze useful. Something like:

Blizzard 2: Each enemy hit by Blizzard 2 increases Spellspeed by 5% for 6 seconds.

Freeze: Inflicts Shatter on target enemies, causing the next spell against them to critically strike.
