It depends what enemies you're fighting; actually, it doesn't really.

You really can't aim with charge attacks or any melee attacks, so the majority of them hit the enemy's torso. The torso is protected (armored) on most enemies.

For lower level enemies, you're not going to need the extra elemental damage to kill them. For higher level enemies, their armor is going to reduce your elemental damage to nothing.

Ancients may be an exception as you may be able to hit their lower arms which are unprotected, but that's unreliable.

Freeze may still be useful for shields though.
