2. If you have your Water elemental out. Start casting frost bolt, click on the water elementals frost nova, and cast it on your opponent, a second before you cast your frosbolt followed by ice lance. The only thing with this is that you need to start casting frostbolt before your water elemental does, otherwise the waterelemental's bolt will break the frostnova.
It is much easier if you make the second one into a macro. The second is more useful for pvp as it prevents them from breaking out. That combo is a guaranteed 5k crit.
I assumed the first one is pretty fairly well known. The second maybe not.
