Ice Storm has SLIGHTLY lesser damage overall, numbers-wise. But thats also interpretive. I believe 1/2 of Ice's damage is in the Lethal category. A good many mobs have some sort of lethal resistance. While RoF is wholly Fire damage..... so in RL application, RoF may noticeably outperform IS in the damage scale of things....
Both may have the same "slow" effect values also. Im not sure if IS also has a -Recharge effect too - dont got time to check....
Keep it. It's a good power. Don't skip Ice Storm. It's not as might as RoF but it's a good power and debuffer. it also tacks on a -recharge. It's only -10 percent but it stacks well with the rest of your powers...I also love putting in the -20% recharge pacing of the turtle proc in there as well if you have the spare slots.
