Elsa did a lot more, than freezing a heart. She nearly destroyed her kingdom, because she was emotionally unstable. Elsa just don't get it - she's wielding the forces of Mother Nature. It's no accident she got this sort of power - figure she was chosen. And the Forces of Nature all cut both ways. Fire, water, wind, earth, sunlight, thunder, etc, all share the same trait: Useful, big fun-bringer and joymasters at reasonable amounts, but disastrous when too much. Elsa's freezemaster powers share the same nature. And since her powers are assmilated with her and is not disposable, the most tactical move she should have taken is to embrace the power, not rejecting it, and use the power to bring maximum joy to the people. Figure she doesn't know how much joy she could bring to the world.

Then, back to the animated Frozen, it's the smurolls who incited fear into her, being so ambiguous (if only for once they would say, "Elsa, this your power. She's chosen you. Embrace it!"). I guess if she had Jack Frost as master things would be much more different. Also, at the end of Frozen, Elsa truly found the key to her power, love. She can now both create ice and then thaw it out. She basically now controls two powerful opposites of nature. Maybe in OUaT, Love is what Elsa is after, maybe she doesn't know how to thaw in OUaT yet. Much like Regina, she doesn't really understand Love as much, anymore. Maybe this 'key' Elsa wants for power is actually Anna. It makes sense that she is after something like this to unlock her true potential because, what did Rumple say was in his vault? Oh yea, "the most unstable of magics." Controlling the two opposite forces of nature is pretty unstable.
