Hi there, welcome to the wonderful world of domination 
try reading [u]this[u]
Mind/psi has more control, ice/ice has more damage. Mind/psi can be tough against psi resistant mobs, ice/ice can be a bit end heavy in the early days. Both are good though, so its really down to which one you think you might enjoy the most.

I wouldn't wish /psi on anyone
Its fairly low damage and not that great when you meet npc's like carnies.
Its a real hard slog with /psi and something you won't enjoy till lvl 38 were it gets abit eaiser with psi shockwave.
If you want enjoyment go mind/ but something else like /ice or /nrg.

Aaah, this one is tough as it is a choice between two of my favourite types of dominator. I decided to keep the mind/psi and I am very happy with Algesis.
I know how fast she builds domination now, so I am really looking forward to I8 for "instant domination".
Some more things I like about mind/psi:
Three stackable holds and fast recharging confuse (along with mass confusion) allow for very rapid accumulation of MAG against EBs and AVs. (I remember one great "fight" when I was teamed with a brute and we beat up a Longbow Ballista with him first one-shotting his own minions and never even looking at us before he dropped. Similar things happened to Infernal, Silver Mantis and many more...)
Confuse is of great use against psi-resistent mobs. Beat them with their own weapons.
Two decent mind dominators with domination can hold (and confuse) through Purple Triangles of Doom.
Fear is hardly ever resisted.
Drain Psyche provides mad regeneration and recovery rates. You will not by any means be able to deplete your stamina while this is running and you can even tank a little if it hits enough mobs.
Psionic attacks turn your enemy´s power buttons into itsy-bitsy little dots. 
Well, I can not say equally much about ice/ice dominators, but one thing I can say for sure: They are really good and it´s fun teaming with them, so I guess you will like your new dom regardless of your choice.
If it has eyes, you can blind it, if it has blood, you can make it bleed, if it has a mouth, you can make it scream.

My experience of 40 lvls on a mind/psi plus countless hours malefactoring and pvping suggests otherwise. Yes, you will hate carnies (like most people) but /psi isnt unplayable like some people make out. Its also one of the few sets which give you the option to leave out the fitness pool and with psi dart you will be building domination super fast.

If you dont warm up to the sets fairly soonish it might be worth changing to something you like the look and feel of a lot more. Pretty much all sets will go through rough patches, its liking the sets and the toon that make me push on through those more challenging bits. With a toon I dont like, I'm more likely to give up at that point.
If you arent going to pick either of your original sets though (ice/ice, or mind/psi), plant/fire is worth a look.
