This would fix Blizzard II and make it useful. As it stands, it's a worthless extra button once you unlock Freeze.
With 1 I agree.

But 2? Just upgrade it into Freeze, like Thunder 1 upgrades into Thunder 3.

Nobody will fish for a procc to buff a weak ice spell by using an even weaker one.

Especially when you don't change the potency. Freeze is 100 potency, Blizzard 2 only 50. So even if you do get a procc you will lose 20 potency with a Blizzard 2 > Freeze combo compared to just using Freeze two times.
Plus Freeze is supposed to give you 3 stacks of Umbral Ice, so you have to cast it first to change the element.
