Character name: Youtobe
Bug description: Icy spikes is frost damage, that's why it should benefit from frost dk mastery but it doesn't, it's damage only increases with versatility (which is working as intended)
Proof: this is how it's working:

changing some versatility and mastery the icy spikes damage changes like this:

as you see, increasing mastery and reducing versatility the icy spikes damage is lower.
it should work like this:

in the attached images with link to the video you can see how the icy spikes damage is also affected by mastery which is not working as intended here as it's only scaling with versatility

TLDR: It does in fact scale with mastery, but the tooltip is completely bugged.

This is going to be a long read so bare with me. Everything i write here is in reference to the video i made which is linked at the bottom of my response.

As you can see at the start of the video, i took off all my gear except the T21 4p and i show my exact stats which are:
Strength - 21 942, Mastery - 17.63%, Versatility - 4.24%. With those stats my T21 4p hit for 32 112 dmg per tick. (tooltip showed total dmg of 82 345)
If we consider the interaction between versatility and mastery being that versatility increases ability dmg first and mastery increases that new dmg number we can calculate our theoretical dmg with 0% mastery and unchanged versatility.
That equation looks as follows: 32 112 : 117.63 = x : 100. That gives us the theoretical dmg of ~27 300 dmg per tick on our T21 4p with 0% mastery. This is a number we can use later.

Than i equipped neck, 2 rings and 2 trinkets which all increase only haste and mastery. Given the fact that haste plays no part in T21 4p dmg we can ignore that. New stats are:
Strength - 21 942 (unchanged), Mastery - 53.91%, Versatility - 4.24% (unchanged). As you can see, the only number that has changed is our mastery. So if T21 4p didn't scale with mastery, we should expect to get the exact same dmg number (32 112). Tooltip number remains unchanged (82 345), but when we hit the target dummy we get a different dmg number: 41 993 dmg. This number is within margin of error of the number we get if we multiply our theoretical 0% mastery dmg of 27 300 dmg per tick with our new mastery number of 53.91%. It goes as follows: 27 300 x 1.5391 = 42 017.43. The number is almost identical to the one we got in game.

From that we can conclude that T21 4p does in fact scale with mastery and that it's tooltip is bugged.

Here's the link to my video: https://youtube.com/watch?v=Z28wHAYxFn0:


(i also included a quick fully geared run to show it does more dmg than tooltip says)

By the way OP, you cannot just screenshot tooltips and report it as bugs, because many of the tooltips are completely wrong (even on retail). You have to do some real dmg testing before you claim something as a bug.

Edits are for wording and general spelling as well as some bad formatting around the video.

Also would like to note that i just noticed that the second screenshot and video provided by OP are from 7.3.5 PTR, so without solid proof that there were no changes between that video and 7.3.5 Live, we can't take that video as any kind of proof.

As already stated , the tooltip is bugged which shows numbers without adding some of the stuff that increases the damage done of that spell .
I tested it on a naked dk with t21 4p , damage shown on tooltip was 111968 damage per barrage ( 3 hits ) , my procs were doin 46985 x2 and 47285 x1 , the spell does 210% weapon damage as Frost damage per hit and it does 3 hits (630%) the damage I ended up doing with those 3 hits is 141255 .
My stats are 20% mastery , 3 % versa . 5% haste , 16% crit and around 20736 str and my artifact weapon has 0 traits and it's damage goes from 1389-2318 . ( The DB shows that it's weapon damage wasn't normalized which means I'll use the standard formula here for the min and max damage)

Note: I didn't count in the Razorice enchant damage increase , but you can do that yourselves just multiply it by 1.15 since the spell was cast on max stacks (5) .
