When it comes to most situations, Ice is the obvious the way to go, that is called "very viable". Don't hide behind "good BLM" blanket argument, every decent BLM on the planet already knew that Fire is weak and a huge opportunity cost. Its a huge choice to make, not a standalone skill.

'Has some uses' doesn't mean "very viable".
You're aware that it's very easy to switch from fire and ice and back while in LB, right? And that even outside of LB, you can still switch quickly and efficiently? A good BLM doesn't just sit in ice or fire all game, they're constantly swapping between them as the situation calls for. Ice is good for pushing, fire is better when there will be an extended fight. You should be using both.
