Because the Frost power you're referring to does not have a spell associated with it for now. Most classes don't have any Legendary Powers added yet, so it's perfectly normal to have placeholders there for now.

Believe it or not the 4 set for blood (crimson runeweapon which should say 3 seconds off not 30) was actually bad for blood as you didn't really need the rune regen usually after a CD nor to spam and essentially force waste resources like that at the time in Legion. It was advised against in so many guides and theorycraftings. The shackles have more of a benefit and were the best in slot single target and default pick (for the passive resource mini null and saving extra resources +  your Deathstrike 99.9% of the time healed you for 10% of your health at least regardless at any point in time) for the entirety of legion hands down. As it has synergy with the ossuary talent as well. I can see, the shackles being a large default choice with also the vamp blood for a mini raid CD from that cata set in dragon soul (depending on how the fights will be and progression to help healers) which was strong as f. I'm stoked for shadowlands so much after the *filtered* show bfa was.
