As there are two different Weapon buffs and only one can be active at a time you will need to swap when the situation changes.
Vengeance of the Winter Storm is to be used when engaging one enemy or up to three enemies.
Vengeance of the Primal North is to be used when engaging four or more enemies.
Starting Rotation:
Inscribe Fate > Frozen Wrath > Icy Blow x4 (Optional)
Rage of the North > Lightning Hammer
Deep Freeze > Massive Blow > Glacial Strike > Punishing Strike > Icy Blow
Rush of Strength > Massive Blow
Rotation:
Keep Inscribe Fate debuff active on the enemy, you should delay using any abilities if it fall off until it is reapplied.
You want to proc Frostbite before using any Physical damaging ability, which only comes from using a Non-Physical melee damaging ability, as Frostbite increases it's damage by 30%.
So when Frostbite is active use Massive Blow, or Punishing Strike.
Then when the Frostbite is consumed use Frozen Wrath, Glacial Strike, Icy Blow, or Lightning Hammer.
Due to Legendary Icy Blow increasing Air & Water damage by 60% at 4 stacks Jolt and Crushing Blow become a dps loss to use, and with Legendary Icy Blow damage being high & duration being so short Sanction Heretic isn't worth using; unless your not in melee range.
Massive Blow applies a damage over time ability called Brutalize that you don't want to clip, so when you want to use Rush of Strength you need to give enough time for Brutalize to expire before using Massive Blow again, so you do...
Massive Blow > Rush of Strength > Non-Phys > Non-Phys > Massive Blow
...so you don't clip Brutalize.
For dealing damage to mobs/adds:
When engaging two enemies spread Frozen Wrath with Strike of the Maelstrom to both enemies, keeping it active on both. Continue with your single target rotation on one of them, then once one dead switch to the other.
For three or more enemies spread Frozen Wrath to all enemies with Strike of the Maelstrom.
You also want to have 4 stacks of Icy Blow before using Avalanche Strike, then just spam Avalanche Strike while refreshing Icy Blow before it exipres.
