So technically you could play a firemage in PvP and use rank 1 frostbolts to keep enemies slowed?
People commonly do this, in fact. Not sure why you'd want to downrank Frost Nova, since instant is instant either way, because mana really shouldn't be much of an issue. (Maybe it is in arena? I haven't done that yet.)
you downrank because the damage for the highest rank is negligable but both do what they are there for: the root. Why waste 300 mana (or whatever) to get an extra 200dmg when that could be used for an icelance crit on a frozen target?
Oh, and it depends on the abilities. Spells (and talents to do with those spells) may have different crit chances, such as the various frostbolt (empowered frostbolt) and scorch/fireblast crit talents in their respective trees.
