Here's my build. Have I missed anything important?

Glacial Armor.
Damn, I was planning to put it in in the 20s but totally forgot... What do you suggest I switch it with? When does it become essential?
I dont think there is any one particular point it suddenly tips into being essential.
Id say by mid teens it look attractive, but 20s it becomes extremely tasty, and by 30s it becomes indespensible.
Both my icers had it by mid teens to be honest, but I could see delaying til 20s as reasonable.
Thanks for the advice 
I think I'll switch it in for Swoop at 22.
Drop Icicles for it I'd say.

Icicles should really be considered an AoE attack, so I would suggest that you either 6 slot it ( 1xACC,2-3 DAM, 2-3END ) or don't pick it at all.
It will probably do more damage over time than Whirling Axe and cost less, but doesn't have the Knockdown/back that Whirling Axe has.
@Unthing ... Mostly on Union.
Unless you're going for PvP I'd drop the icicles, the damage is continious but it's very low and it's a very expensive toggle
each armour and chilling embrace cost 0.239 End per second
0.239x4 = 0.956
Icicles costs 1.04 end per second, so more than all the other 4 put together.
Also from my experiance 2 taunt slots in chilling embrace is far better for holding agro than 1
I found argo was escapeing to team mate AoE's with 2 taunt slotted it's very rare something next to me is attacking anything else.
From the recent RV event on Training room, I can swear by 3 slows in CE if you want to PvP. I had endless fun laughing at stalkers trying to backpedal from me as I slowly pummelled away with air superiority et al.

That may suck with herding up times whilst herding to a herdpoint pve but you can always either taunt and hide or rely on icicles alone should you need to.
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
Here's my build. Have I missed anything important? Also, is my slotting ok? I'm new to this posting malarkey, so be gentle with me
Also, I have no idea what Epic pool would be good for this build, so any ideas would be appreciated!
