My tactics vary a bit depending on if I am teamed or solo.
Usually I stealth in and set the mob up so that my opening (Shockwave) piles them all in a corner or up against a wall. This prevents the Alpha strike.
I follow up with Sirens Song which puts them to sleep and if there are bosses in the spawn I jump in an hit Frozen Aura. (Frozen Aura does no damage and won't wake them up)
Next I hit Shiver (this doesn't wake them up either) and then I take them out starting with the most serious threat first.
If it's a boss I hit Freezing Touch and follow up with Char then take him out with single target attacks. I cycle Frozen Aura every time it's up to keep the rest of the spawn asleep.
Once all the bosses are gone I change tactics a bit. I back up, hit Shiver, then Shockwave, then Howl, then Sirens. I then switch to the single target strategy again until the above combo is ready again.
Against things that are immune/resistant to sleep (robots) I drop Ice Patch, then open with Shockwave, follow up with Shiver and use the stun and holds on the most serious threats.
If I get a bit overwhelmed I use Screech on the boss and then hit Dreadful Wail. Anything that survives is stunned long enough for me to finish them off with a couple cabs and single target attacks.
The damage I take from those mobs that are missed that 5% of the time is repaired by the heal procs in the sleep powers and the single target blasts.

No Shout in there? I dropped it on my defender, but I'd NEVER drop it on my blaster. It hits like a friggin Mack truck if you put it at the end of your chain. The -res and defiance boost from earlier attacks just make it hit that much harder. I've had my Shout break the damage cap when boosted by a kin's Fulcrum Shift.
(Resistance debuff increases your damage but does not count toward your damage cap, if you are at 500% damage bonus and debuff an enemy Shout's damage will exceed what it is supposed to be able to do)

Shout's in the build at level 28. I picked it up late because I had other priorities and didn't really need to hit harder than I was until then.

I have a feeling my level 36 Sonic/Ice build is deficient, and I'd love to look at the builds of other people who use it. I've searched the forum and there's no particular guide for it - so, does anyone else have a 50 with a particularly good build?
(For the purposes of discussion, I do a lot of solo PVE and not much PVP at all. I'm a casual player and have been working on this toon since about March - so I'm a fairly slow leveller.)
