Would assume it to be best for group play as likely someone else is dropping MRR and adding Vulnerability stacks for you.
Solo play might not be *shrug*

Make a dino mainhand with ash, an off-hand with ooze, and another with vulnerability, and ideally a LGS off-hand with salt too. Swap between weapon setups as needed based off the party/raid you're in and whatever debuffs others brought. (Best choices tend to be fluid like this but also means you'll want multiple sentient jewels setup, so depending on your level play and free time to play, it may be overkill/harder to do)

The best weapon to use is a variety of weapons. That’s true for every build that doesn’t count on something like Weapon Bond.

Wave should be in your hand most of the time but having a Salt one hander and one of each of the Dino debuff horn one handed weapons. You won’t use them all the time, but big critters go down way faster with debuffs and you’ll get a lot of mileage out of swapping to the Legendary Affirmation whenever your temp HP time out.

Wave is more a druid than a sorc weapon because of MCL issues. IMO, ice sorcs are best with two sentient set-ups, one a Dino qstaff with ash for most questing fitted with a mix of DC and DPS fils (raid cha, dragonsoul, frozen wanderer, etc.) and one with two Dino debuff sticks (ash and vuln) for boss melting, fitted with pure DPS fils (elemental avatar, dragon soul, frozen wanderer). Keep a non-sentient ooze/salt pair, and a non-sentient affirmation swap (ideally snapshotted). If you like swapping a ton, you could run Wave as your boss weapon too, but IMO the lower rotation uptime because of attention and GCD issues is not worth it.

This level of separate weapon setup is only relevant if you're looking to optimize your single target DPS past r8 or so (i.e. you're filling the boss/doom DPS role in high reaper parties/high reaper solos).
