This is what he said about frost traps.

Partially what we wanted to do was make sure it wasn't "wasted" on an immune target. It's hard to figure out the ideal solution here -- it seems like sometimes you'd want to trigger it anyway and sometimes you'd want to save it. I'm assuming you'd never want Freezing Trap to active on an immune target, so there's a consistency issue too.
Reverting it back to always going off on immune targets and just not affecting that target certainly isn't off the table.

Lets break it down.
* Traps fizzling on an immune target makes them not wasted, and if they did trigger they would be wasted because the target is immune.
* Sometimes you'd want to trigger the trap and get LnL and sometimes you don't. (mind giving me an example of when I don't want LnL and a slick of ice to kite around?)
* And there's consistency... because Blizzard is oh so mindful of consistency....
