Is blizzard not feasible as AOE boxer vs AE?

[Myth]

I am currently running Magex4+Priest. Fire/Arcane for Pyro for bosses and AE for everything else. I tried a few different specs and mainly do dungeons now once they are the same level or a couple lower than my group of 5.

I wanted Blizzard AOE to work since it is a lot of fun doing solo but I tried using set view scripts and a few different ground target AoE method's that Mirai did a great job of showing. However, in the end the effort was not worth it as 4xMage Arcane Explosion kills just about anything but a boss faster and with much less effort than Blizzard spam. You just have to limit pulls to 4-5 vs. 5+.

Sure the pulls are not as epic but the risk of dying is less but the pace is just as fast. You will have to drink after every 1-3 pulls using AE. But hey... thats why we have mage water/food.
