Mage Cold Snap macro

I was browsing the wowwiki "macros for rogues" section and saw the macro for Preparation that basically says "if you're going to be resetting all your cooldowns anyway, might as well blow them all before the reset" and this got me thinkin' about my mage.
Currently I have a macro for Deep Freeze + Cold Snap something like this:
#showtooltip Deep Freeze
/cast Cold Snap
/cast Deep Freeze
I use it on raid/heroic bosses when I proc Fingers of Frost so I can BLAM! their face + instant Cold Snap and BLAM! their face again... Sometimes though, I've already sent another frostbolt on it's way which eats one of my FoF procs, so I will left click the macro, and if I should happen to get another FoF before Deep Freeze is up again, I'll right click it to reset + Deep Freeze. The macro I'd like to have would like to have I'm not sure is possible, but it would go something like this:
#showtooltip Deep Freeze
/cast Icy Veins
/cast Cold Snap
/cast Deep Freeze
If it's not possible like I'm thinking, I guess I'll just have to watch my Cold Snap cooldown manually and use that to judge when to right-click (which will blow Icy Veins, then immediately Cold Snap it back)... Actually that will work. If somebody can confirm/deny the macro I want is not possible that'd be great, but I think I'll just make a Power Auras widget that shows when Cold Snap is ready so I'll know when it's ok to right-click my existing macro...

I didn't realy understand, but do you mean - if you press button 2 - cast Icy Veins if Cold Snap is NOT on cooldown?
If it is I think you could try
#showtooltip Deep Freeze
/castsequence reset=480 Icy Veins, Cold Snap, Cold Snap; Deep Freeze
I haven't tested it but I
think
when you press button 2 it will cast Icy Viens, then on the next click it will cast Cold Snap, then on the next clcik it will attempt to cast Cold Snap and fail (I am not sure if this will reset the cast sequence), the cast sequence will reset after 8 mins (change this to however long the cooldown for your cold snap is).
Please tell me if this works or not, thanks in advance.
EDIT: Doesn't work

/castsequence will balk at any step that fails to cast. The reset condition will still reset it, though, after the duration.
