It would probably be best if it was unable to be dispelled since the lack of control seems to be the main downside of the spell, it'd be a shame to have the damage nerfed in place of allowing the player to dispel it (especially because it would be hilarious to watch a mage being chased by his own spell). I'd probably look at fear coding and confusion coding to aid in writing it's movement code because it sounds like it would move similar to the way a person who is feared+confused would. It sounds like a difficult movement pattern to code though.

Slightly off-topic but, from what I vaguely remember, FireFrost had a weird bouncy effect to it, sometimes it will hit a wall and bounce back the way it came instead of a 90 degree deflection and other times it would actually take the 90 degree path. Anyone else have this experience?
