Personally, I think the question is why do you need Hibernate.

You need it because icetank isn't a granite 
If I got 5 influence for everytime hibernate saved my icetanks butt, I'd have at least 2000!

Ah yes; "Can you kill me in ~30 seconds? No, well I'll just hibernate then and let you regroup and then we can try the whole thing again 30 seconds later".

... I've got to ask, and I'll probably regret it, but why do you need Aid Self on an Ice Tank. Especially with Recharge Bonus, Hibernate and Hoarfrost are up so God damn fast.
[/ QUOTE ]Because it's a damn good heal. Hoarfrost does recharge in under two minutes, yes, but aid self recharges (with the final build) in ~8 secs, which is quite a bit better 
Even with high def, there are situations where you just keep taking damage (Especially if DE quartz or stacked nemmy vengeance is involved), and at that point, self heals are very handy. Hoarfrost just isn't fast recharging enough, and hibernate isn't always usable. Aid self is a great survivability booster, no matter what way you look at it.

Massive uninteruptable +Regen, +Recovery, +Self Intangible and you won't lose aggro if you slot properly?
I'd rather have that than Aid Self to be honest. Especially when the recharge is pretty good.

Thats the trick. This build has no taunt power and no taunt enhancers in attacks or chilling embrace. I would strongly suspect that Hibernate would loose aggro quite quickly.
[/ QUOTE ]As long as the group isn't scattered all over the room, I can hib for a few seconds without losing the aggro. And that's usually all that's needed, after that I can just pop aid self.
