Mage: Snap Freeze - Snap Shock worth it?

[MaChao]

Pretty much what the title says.
I'm focusing on Lightning, but is it worth it losing the crowd control of freeze over it?

I'm going for a flameblade but I would take it for sure
Mage already has quite a lot of survivability built in and the barrier generation is great

I would see it as a way to nuke a mob pack or chunk a boss after priming it with shock for the spark surge node

Wizard already has so many playstyles that don't revolve around needing CC to stay alive that yes I would recommend it.
