ICE/SS Where to put my Purple Proc?

Hi All,
I've got an Ice/SS tank with both the damage and the slow aura. He's up to 55% global recharge now, and hasten puts him at 117%. My question for you guys is:
Where should I put the "Chance for moderate fire damage" Purple Armageddon proc I recently purchased?

It can go in Footstomp as well as the damage aura (Icicles). Footstomp is currently maxed out on its other attributes so the sixth slot is pure Gravy. Icicles has 6 slots, 3 of which are Eradication (including the Eradication proc).

What would be most efficient in terms of my overall DPS?

Thanks so much, and cheers.

I think that Foot Stomp, ED capped for recharge, will fire just over every 10 seconds. Procs in toggles like Icicles fire every ten seconds. Close to a wash there. But Icicles has an 8' range, and Foot Stomp is 15'. I'd say Foot Stomp is the way to go.

Agreed, but more because in Foot Stomp, you get to choose when to use it. Since in Icicles, it will check to fire every 10 seconds, whether you've got an enemy around you or not, you could end up firing it off right before combat, hitting no one, then having to wait the full time to see it check again, when many enemies might be dead. If it's in Foot Stomp, you can use it at the start of the fight, and see it check to go off then.
