Does anyone actually use the 1-gem sea troll summon though?
I do when I have more water gems than I know what to do with, but not enough to blow on more kings without breaking the bank (and idle water mages). I use them just to fill up squads for breaking into the seas. Actually, that was more in Dom2, and not so much now in Dom3.

I usually use the sea trolls to guard the decked out, gem generating kings. The kings just sit back with a water elemental spawning bottle each and cast frozen heart, and/or sharks.

I generally don't use the 1-gem sea troll summon, mainly because it takes forever to get anything going with it. The problem is that the trolls cost a lot of maintenance, so while you are building up, you're paying a fortune that could be used elsewhere. I'd much rather save the gems for sea king's court, even if it doesn't seem as efficient cost wise at first...

Any more experiences to report with this spell (the Unfrozen one, not the Sea Troll one)? Do heat/cold scales and/or season effect it? If so, in which way? Anything else anyone has noticed?

I remember casting this spell quite a bit in one of my LA Atlantis single player games. Summer time always gave best results.
