Personally I would worry about hasten to much.

Needs to be able to solo and team, and PVP if possible, although I'll probably leave that until I've worked through the PvE stuff.

Ice/Kin is great, although I personally find certain levels extremely frustrating (33,34 and 36,37 spring to mind). I'd think about squeezing 3 recharge into siphon speed if at all possible. Once you have it triple stacked (just) and hasten up, you'll be an ice dispensing gatling gun 
I'd suggest getting bitter ice blast earlier as you'll miss it in your attack chain. Bitter Freeze Ray I've respecced out as I find it pretty useless for PvP and in PvE I can either double stack freeze ray in about the same time or (in the case of hold resistant bosses) applied so much -SPD they do the baywatch run towards me (without the jiggling sadly)
Blizzard I have no acc in (and no leadership) and it hits even purple bosses just fine. I'd swap it for a recharge or think about another to hit buff in tactics. You do NOT want to miss with most of the /kin powers... looks pretty solid though. Have fun.
Give us a shout on Union (Ice Blight) if you see me and I'll show you how my build plays if you like.
Synaesthetix:if your mum wasn't already dead I would go kill her for bringing
you into the world
since when did blizzard accept accuracy? is it prehaps supposed to be to hit debuff? You can't get bitter ice blast any earlier than 18 (unless the post was edited and it was later?). Would definatly leave out bitter freeze ray. Havn't tried it myself but from what everyone else says the cast time is way to long.
I would definatly try to get 5 slots in sithen speed, 3 recharge (if possible) and 2 acc. You really do notice it if you miss (just noticed you have tactics, so dfisregard the 2 acc thing )
You can easily get rid of one recharges/heal in tranfusion (if you need them for sithen speeD)
A crazy suggestion... (it is actually crazy so feel free toignore it)
Drop BFR and take Ice storm and slot Siphon speed for a couple of slows (with tactis you shouldn't need the extra). Basically this is to get AVs who are hard to hold to the slow cap, but, with the three recharges, it's also great in teams at slowing down other units in the ice storm. I'd be keen to take ice strom anyway, as of I7 your buffs will effect it.
What level are you by the way? I fancy rolling one as well and could do with a fellow Ranger and experience villain to blast through with, as I've never gone through villains before.
Currently up to level 8 (don't think i deviated from the build too much so far).
Feel free to give me a shout if you do roll one Frogue.
Right, my fire/kin build just isn't feeling "right" - I can't get into the AOE mindset, so I'm considering a rerolled Ice/Kin (which actually might fit the concept more)
Some points - leadership pool is a must for concept. I'm pretty certain I want the rest of the powers, just a question of in what order, and with what slotting (I'm really not sure about the fulcrum shift slotting). Needs to be able to solo and team, and PVP if possible, although I'll probably leave that until I've worked through the PvE stuff.
