Procs in Frigid Protection

[Nightwatch]

Know little about procs.  When they go off and when they dont. 

Specifically at the moment I want to know if its worth putting Ice Mistral's Torment proc (chance for cold damage) in [Frigid Protection] (which has quite a large 30’ radius) on a fire/ice blapper?

If it is, is it also worth throwing in other Slow procs?

I normally just slot Frigid Protection for endurance.

Nope.

Procbomb Frozen Aura instead.

It's also worth noting that any Healing Procs in Frigid protection only get the opportunity to trigger whenever there is a foe within range (due to the way its Absorb is coded).
Globals like Preventive Maintenance are fine though; and Guaranteed 120s duration procs like Numina's Convalescence or Miracle can generally be kept up OK.
A Power Transfer Proc is sorta bearable in it if you have no other active sources of Healing and you're constantly surrounded by foes.

I'd always aim to ED-cap the Healing Aspect and slot at least one EndMod IO, Sticking some slow in it can be a good idea too (or taking an Intuition Radial Alpha slot). 

Personally I settled on this slotting for my own Fire/Ice Blaster; plus an Intuition Radial Alpha.

I’m not understanding this.  With a base of 40% regen already in Health, why wouldn’t it be better to add the healing IOs to Health rather than Frigid Protection?

Because the most you'll get out of putting Health IOs into Health is a few HP/Second extra Regeneration (it's the region of ~2.5 HP/Sec before procs and set bonuses)
But by putting Health IOs into Frigid Protection you almost double the +Absorb that it grants you every two seconds (from ~18.1 to ~35.5) which stacks up to 6 times.

The upshot is you gain about 4 times as much in terms of "sustained damage mitigation"; in addition to an additional ~108 Absorb which sits on top of your regular health pool (for ~212 Total) and acts as a "spike damage buffer".
