Two new macro modifiers were added to ground targeting abilities, I'm not sure how long ago, I just found out about them today.
/cast [@player] freezing trapIf you miss being able to place this without aiming and clicking, this macro will place the trap directly under your character. Not quite as good as the old position in front of you but skips the aiming and clicking which is better than nothing.
/cast [@cursor] freezing trap
This will place it wherever your cursor happens to be, allowing you to position your mouse and hit your bind, skipping the click. If you can keep your cursor in front of your character you can mimic the old direct drop position. I find this one most useful for abilities I have bound to my wheel click.

From 1.4.0 to 6.0.2, trapped mobs would instead appear encased in a block of solid ice, rather than the current ice crystal spikes.
In 6.0.2, the trap's appearance was updated.
Sadly this trap now pulls aggro if there are mobs surrounding or if you are for instance on Suramar with the mask, it immediately puts you out of the custom :(
