Does the frostbolt glyph just remove the slow, and keep the debuff as a snare? or does the glyph make remove the snare entirely and make Torment of the Weak useless?
It'll not apply the Frostbolt debuff so it will not trigger TotW.

Seeing as how you are even considering this glyph I am going to assume you aren't glyphing for PvP. In that case tank abilities such as
thunderclap
and
Avenger's shield
are just some examples of how you can still benefit from this glyph's increased damage. All tanks have a slow ability that they use regularly. Don't get me wrong, I am uncomfortable with the glyph myself but it doesn't stop your FoF and you have tanks to trigger your TotW. Many mages on this forum will agree.
edit: It seems that stnly beat me too it. Either way I will leave my post up if for nothing other than the examples.

As far as I know, raid bosses are immune to Frostbolt's debuff, meaning it will not trigger TotW regardless of glyph.

no, calaelen, the point is that TTW will be triggered by debuffs that will ALWAYS be up on the boss because of tanks.
I'm aware of the fact that TotW will be active on raid bosses at all times due to tank abilities, but that wasn't the posters question.
He was asking about the Frostbolt glyph having effect on TotW. I figured stating that the it's irrelevant, as Frostbolt will never trigger TotW on raid bosses due to them being immune to the debuff.

The OP asked if TotW was useless with the glyph. Collectively (Calael, Stnly and I) we answered, If you are soloing dungeons/raids it is useless. If you happen to have a tank, TotW + Frostbolt Glyph isn't a bad idea. 5% dps increase basically for free? Sign me up!
