If you think I should go with the Thunderfury, should i try to roll frost damage instead of the electric damage on there already? I have mirror ball so all my spells are frost.
I can't recall off the top of my head. I'll take a picture and post it tonight. I know the base weapon damage is lower than my azurewrath. That's about it.
While the proc on TF is quite nice if you are running a cold wizard then the 17% cold damage is probably going to be worth more than the proc from TF just because how the % damage modifier works. Just my 2 cents though.
that's the way I'm leaning. that's why I was wondering if I should roll of the electric damage for cold. I currently have 73% cold damage though too. I am starting to think that rolling the damage might be bad and just leave it as it is incase I need the TF for a non cold build

You don't have 73% cold damage - it increases your cold SKILL damage. Elemental weapon damage is not a skill.
As others have said, the lightning damage type on your weapon doesn't mean much. The element of the skills you are using overrides the weapon type, so your %cold damage is still benefiting you regardless of your weapon damage type as long as you are using cold skills. Also your azurewrath is actually very good compared to all the ones I have as well as seen on others. Usually TF wins hands down, but I cannot give an answer for this specific case. In my opinion, they are pretty close since the azurewrath is a really good one and the TF isn't the greatest. Although the TF does allow for more synergy with Tals set and the Elemental Exposure passive.

I would stick with AW because of the cold skill damage. The cold elemental enchant on it helps a bit in the fact that you will freeze enemies slightly more often which is helpful if you use Cold Blooded passive. On top of that it has much more DPS. You could perhaps fix the damage on TF somewhat by rerolling the elemental enchant to get a higher roll, but I would honestly rather reroll the area damage if it came to that. I don't mind something like vitality on a weapon as it can give you a huge toughness boost.
All things considered, Azurewrath is a better option if not for pure DPS, then because it fits your "cold wizard" theme better and gives you more crowd control and by extension more dps (Cold Blooded). The rolls on it are also far superior in this particular case.
Thanks everyone for the advice. I'm going to continue using AW in groups and higher content. But i found that rifting t1 by myself that TF is more fun.
