Basically, every 4-5 days I'd liberally douse the chain in either MEC Wet Lube or Phil's Tenacious Oil. Just keep looking at the chain, if it ain't a gooey black color, time to hit it with some oil.

I was liking the wax for the chain until this last week, when you're right, it becomes a bit of a disaster. My chain lost a lot of it's flexibility.
I doused the trouble spots on my front derailleur in some of the MEC wet lube I had lying around and worked it back and forth a bit, and voila, it shifts again. Stupid winter. Next week is going to feel great.
