Chain Reaction help!

Mod Edit: Moved to Q&A
Hey fellas, I just changed from fire to frost recently and I'm having a little trouble understanding the Chain Reaction trait. It stacks 3 times, giving me a total of 60% extra damage on my ice lances, so I check the damage of a non-proced ice lance with 3 stacks of chain reaction and its not even 100k. So, I guess my question is how do I actually utilize the chain reaction buff? Do I fish for it while I have Ice Lance procs(Fingers of Frost)? I'm noticing(I think) that when I have 3 stacks of chain reaction+ a FoF proc, it goes from around 220k to 300k+. Is this the correct way to use Chain Reaction? By fishing for the buff to use FoF procs on?

Yes.

My understanding is that the management of your FoF w.r.t the Chain Reaction count is what separates the good frost mages from the great ones.
