For fear spells: When fear kiting you probably want the low-mana, longer-duration terrorize. When charming high level mobs (Kael, PoM), mana probably isn't as big of an issue; the extra -5mr check can't hurt, and having fear break one tic faster gets your pet back in the fight that much faster aka gets the mob off you. I think I use repulse animal when doing A4 with a pet that summons.
Ice seems useless. The idea is kind of cool, that you could have two opposite element spells that feed of each other. You could imagine fighting old-world dragons and trying to coordinate the use of Ice and Starfire. But then you realize the original raid mobs were a fire dragon and an ice dragon, so you'd never be in a situation where both spells could land. Feels like the kind of spell that could have lead to some interesting emergent behavior, but just didn't.
