Why isn't Firey and Ice enchant still viable?

I'm under the impression these two enchants, which were incredibly popular pre-bc, have been nerfed to obscurity. Why? :/ I think they'd still be nice to have if they were useful.

They just don't scale, which I don't think I would call a nerf really. That's just item scaling (or lack thereof I suppose), and it happens with most everything (or should).

If we were to have fiery/icy play a role at level 70 they would need to require pertinent materials at that level, so it would really require new fiery/icy enchants to be made. It's entirely possible that there's a specific reason they weren't and won't be made due to their procs and what we want proc-based enchants to perform. Maybe not though, and maybe it's possible we could have new fiery/icy sometime in the future.
