Devastation: In Snap Shot and Aimed Shot (I like a 4 set of these
Acc/Dam, Dam/end, dam/rech, and the quad (45% to acc, rec and end with 95%
damg) if you must use one more I'd use the acc/rec/end over the hold proc)
Positron's Blast: In Fist of Arrows and Explosive Arrows
Acc/rech is about right on this one for one to leave out
(especaly as a archer youve got acc 
)
Apoclypse: In Blazing Arrow
Dam/rech (youll find having this power at 89% rech when you have other
+rech already in your build is not as needed.
Ragnarok: In Rain of Arrows
(the proc or the dam/rech) if you want them on there butts then the dam/rec
is your leave, but truly this is one id loose the proc fast and first 
Gravitational Anchor: In Chiliblain
either the imob/rech or the proc, this one I'd chose the imoble/rech over
the proc as the one to go
Fortunata Hypnosis: In Flash Freeze
not remebering what the proc does, if its the placate I think it is, loss it first,
other wise sleep/rech
Adjusted Targeting: In Aim and Build Up
to hit/end, with either one your to hit is high enough to be realy good even
without hte full cap on the to hit, hte end cost is bairly important, and the
BIG one is recharge youll want them most on these powers
If I use the Chance for Placate proc in Flash Freeze from Fortunata Hypnosis, how does it work... will an enemy be Placated while in the ice or after it's gone.. or what?
Enemy will be placated as soon as the power the proc is slotted in hits them. I think the proc is bugged to always fire but that might be a PvP thing, not a PvE one.

It's not bugged in PvE.
Some quibbles...
For purples, I always leave out the single-aspect IO when slotting 5 of 6. Slotting the other 5 gives you near-ED capped enhancement on it anyway; the single-aspect IO is always overkill when slotting that many purples.
This is especially true of Gravitational Anchor. The hold proc in that set is pure win (though it does admittedly work better in AoE immob powers than in Chilblain). But even for other purple sets, the damage you get out of a damage proc is better than the percentage you get out of over-enhancing the damage.
The only exception would be Fortunata Hypnosis, where the placate is pretty much a wasted slot. Anything else is better than that proc, IMHO.
For Positron's Blast - I seem to recall this set is very, very light on Accuracy, something like 45-50% fully slotted. I wouldn't recommend skipping an Acc/Anything with Posi's Blast, even on an archer.
And for a while things were cold,
They were scared down in their holes
The forest that once was green
Was colored black by those killing machines

Skipping Contagious Confusion might be called for if it's Arctic Air and you don't want the 5% Defense. Skipping Armageddon's Proc is needed currently if you have Lightning Rod/Shield Charge (the proc will activate on you AFAIK).
Also - I skip either the Dam/End, Dam/Rech, or Dam/Rng in Posi's Blast (Rech is only skipped on my Crab's Suppression - it's end cost and activation time make it unfeasible currently).
Deamus the Fallen - 50 DM/EA Brute - Lib
Dragos Bahtiam - 50 Fire/Ice Blaster - Lib
/facepalm - Apply Directly to the Forehead!
Formally Dragos_Bahtiam - Abbreviate to DSL - Warning, may contain sarcasm

Okay, as I recently looked over my Blaster of Archery/Ice/Cold, I have been having second thoughts about what IOs in sets I picked. Below I'll post my Mid's Build for anyone using said program.
I'm not seeking advice on how my build should be powerwise or choice of slotting and/or what sets I picked.
What I want is advice on... if I use 5 of the 6 in a Set, what IO should I leave out for:
Adjusted Targeting, Devastation, Positron's Blast, Ragnarok, Gravitational Anchor, Fortunata Hypnosis and Apoclypse.
Most seem to be telling me to leave out the Acc/Rech, but I'd still like advice please!
Devastation: In Snap Shot and Aimed Shot
Positron's Blast: In Fist of Arrows and Explosive Arrows
Apoclypse: In Blazing Arrow
Ragnarok: In Rain of Arrows
Gravitational Anchor: In Chiliblain
Fortunata Hypnosis: In Flash Freeze
Adjusted Targeting: In Aim and Build Up
