You want the 2nd ice nova gem in your cospri's because it'll proc off of the frostbolts and provide some extra damage and clear. Never heard of anyone doing cold snap with Cospri's CoC and you don't want frenzy charges anyway, for two reasons. The first being that in an ideal world, you're running a Militant Faith timeless jewel for the Inner Conviction keystone. This effectively nullifies any frenzy charges you'd be generating and just converts them to power charges, which goes along with the main selling point of the jewel, which is 3% MORE spell damage modifier per power charge(Assassin's run 7 power charges before getting a +1 helm, so that's 21% MORE damage.)

Secondly and even more importantly, you need to keep a watchful eye on your cyclone's attacks per second. If you don't have at least 14% cooldown recovery somewhere on your gear, whether it's from a level 3+ Awakened CoC gem or a mod on your belt or boots, you need to keep your cyclone's attack speed BELOW 6.06APS, not 7.1 like I've seen referenced. If you DO have 14% CDR somewhere on your gear, your new aps breakpoint becomes 7.57 Cyclone APS. Most people shoot for that 14% CDR and it's even easier to obtain this league with the veiled mod changes. Frenzy Charges in all likelihood are pushing you past the breakpoint which is bad because it essentially means you're skipping Ice Nova procs on your main CoC damage link. You're attacking faster than Ice Nova can proc, and the result will be a very large reduction in dps.

TLDR: Forget cold snap. Put vaal ice nova in your Cospris as they proc off frostbolts and with frozen trail jewel you're getting more frostbolts and more ice novas procing from them. This gives you far more extra damage than cold snap would and the vaal ice nova is nice to pop for things like legions, etc. Make sure you have 14% CDR on your gear and ensure you're never exceeding 7.57 cyclone attack speed with flasks active(I typically like to sit right around 7.52aps, so just under the BP.) Forget frenzy charges all together.
