Gems
If it says anything along the line of “a chance to receive” in the gem store avoid it at all cost.
You’re obviously on a hot streak. You should head to Las Vegas right now.
I wonder what your basis for comparison is…”

It’s always cheaper to buy the dyes right from TP rather than gambling and losing every time.
One quick advice (not only for this game, but for anything really), anytime you see that you’ll have a chance to receive something, be sure to research what those chances are before commiting money, so you can decide for yourself whether you can live with those chances or not.
The GW2 wiki is a good source of information for that, I usually check that out (and dulfy’s) before I spend any gems on RNG items like that. Here’s the page for the frost dye kit:
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Frost_Dye_Kit
The description reads “Contains one random frost-themed armor dye from a pool of 25 colors, including six exclusive new colors.”, so from that you can imply that you will have a 6/25 chance (24%) chance to get one of the new dyes (note, it’s random, while you could expect to get 1 new dye every 4 packs, you might as well get 4 new dyes, just as you might get none from 10 packs), and if you want a specific one out of the new dyes, it’ll be 1/25 chance (4%).
