Icyveins says to cast GS first and then Flurry, but can you really cast it fast enough to have winter’s chill on the target before GS hits? The way I understand it, that’s the whole point. I just couldn’t manage it when I tried it on a training dummy. GS hit twice though, which I don’t understand.
Yes, since there’s no GCD between the GS cast and Flurry cast and Flurry travels faster, the Winter’s Chill effect pretty much always lands first.
Have you got the Splitting Ice talent? It causes Icicles, Ice Lance and Glacial Spike to cleave to a second target for 80% damage.
Typically Flurry will hit before GS does, but you do raise a good point: if you’re too close to the target when casting GS, flurry will not hit before GS does, so you have to watch out for that (generally melee range is where GS will hit before flurry does).
If you’re far enough you should be able to pull this every single time. And about GS hitting twice, I’m not entirely sure what you mean. If you have splitting ice, then that’s why, and you can check what targets your GS hit. Is it the same target? Probably not right?

You’re right. If I press flurry at the end of GS’ so it becomes queued it works. I didn’t even know you could queue spells like that since the game doesn’t give any visible indication of it. But this is good to know.
You need to have a brain freeze proc, which makes flurry instant cast, then do the glacial cast, and then right after cast instant flurry.
Note that to hit this consistently you have to be 8 yards away from the target.
Or pet freeze them if there freezable. This is actually better on packs of mobs as it will shatter both of your spikes with splitting ice. Ice nova works too if you set up for pvp.
