Respec to PVP

I would like to respec my tank to be more PVP capable it is great on PVE maps but is mainly AoE powers. The build is Ice/Fire and i'm also not sure which would be the best pool powers to take.
Questions :-
Is flight better than SJ?
Invest in the leadership pool for Tactic's?
Teleport Foe and TP worth getting?
Drop my AoE powers and concentrate on Single target ones?
Which way to slot the powers for different affects?

Please fell free to offer any thoughts on this.
thx

No, Flight is generally very bad in PvP...especially on a melee character. You want lots of movement so hurdle, swift, combat jumping, ss and sj are a must (with a few exceptions).
Lot of -fly powers in the game...not that many -jump.

No, you already have increased perception from Glacial Armor (and possibly Focused Accuracy).

TP can only be used as a quick getaway if pinned down....get a temp tp power instead.

TP Foe, either extremly situational or a gank/grief tool..I would never take it.

AoEs are generally not very good in PvP since you seldom get more than 1 target at a time + AoEs accuracy is lower than your single target attacks and does less damage to single targets.

If i was to make a build it would probably look something like this (dont mind the order):
