Ice/ice blaster, build help

Atm I've been trying to make a build for my ice/ice blaster, havent really come up with anything. I've never played a blaster before so I'd like help with playing style, build and all the usual stuff

Playing style will probably be blasting from range because /ice doesnt have much melee.

Something I planned a while back when I was wondering what /Ice blaster I'd do - it's a bit PvP -oriented and thought as a respec build, so if you want to go PvE, you might want to switch some of the double Accuracy Enhas for Accuracy+Recharge. Basically Sigle Target blaster that can keep a good amount of enemies held at the same time. Aim+BU+Blizzard for the actual big AoE Damage. LRM to have something to snipe with.

Almost all of the good /ice powers are melee (Ice Sword, Ice Patch, Chilling Embrace, Freezing Touch).

I just respecced my (I4) ice/ice blaster into something like this which works OK in both PvE and casual PvP.
