I would personally switch BFR with Freezing Touch, only had a quick skim through the build.
I prefer ranged holds to melee holds, that's the reason I have BFR and no freezing touch at all
Oh yeah, what I forgot to put in the original post (and cant edit anymore :/) is here...
Do you think this build is ok for PvE and occasional PvP? PvP side looking mostly at duels but some zonal PvP might happen. Should I get energy mastery instead of cold mastery?

It's not ok for PvP. Occationally it might work, occationally it might not. You're way too realiant on Aim and Buildup for reliable ToHit if you slot your attacks with just one Accuracy.
Other notes:
Shiver benefits incredibly from Slow enhancements.
Combat Jumping is begging for LotG: Recharge.
Hurdle might be better than Swift for a jumper.
Hasten is in a bit late, isn't it? You could switch its place with BFR. (If you're planning on stacking holds at SC, you get better results with Hasten + FR than FR + BFR)
Stimulant needs an Intred in the Empty slot
Frozen Armor is way overslotted. If you absolutely want the +Accuracy from LotG Setting, you get it with just 4 slots. Take one slot out, put it to Combat Jumping, put Kismet and LotG there.

Good stuff there Alvan! I'm planning to get some sets later on in the attacks, which is why there's currently only 1 acc in each.
I could slot shiver with a slow set..
A LotG: recharge in CJ would cost a lot
Could take hurdle, just wasnt sure
Hasten can be switched with BFR..
About stimulant, I'm better off if I put there a Rechred so I can stack it!!!
Yeah I could switch something in frozen armor for that kismet..

Your build is really like that of my blaster.
At the moment I don't have BFR, but I'm gonna try to take it if the buff they gave to the animation time really deserves it.
In any case, Aim and Build Up would really like to be slotted ALSO with 3 ToHit... or else you can put just 3 HOs Rechargered/Tohit buff (don't remember their name).
Agree that hasten can be switched with BFR.
Stimulant: ABSOLUTELY IntRdx if you want to use it in pvp (better even 2 or 3 IntRdx).
Ice Attacks are better slotted with 2acc 3dmg 1slow (slow optional) for ice bolt/ice blast and 2acc 3dmg 1rchg for BIB. Ice sword can stay 2acc 3dmg as you will use it once in a while to give the coup de grace (your ranged chain is really fast and hard).
Some sets can be used there also but I still haven't planned them. SO are enough for all, IOs for acc/slow/rchg if you have inf to spend.
Snow Storm likes slow enhs so does Shiver.
Swift's overslotted if you put run enhs in Super Speed. Nonetheless I'd go with Swift because YOU suffer from slow and -jump (incredible isn't it?) and you'd better have some way to get out of the slowing range (swift + ss works fairly well, i never got the grasp of hurdle + sj)
I don't remember all sets bonuses, but ice blaster's weak points are (in no particular order):
- endurance use (especially when using snow storm)
- recharge (the ranged chain is "short", you should have it up again really fast so you don't have "blank times")
- mez resistance (well, blaster achille's heel)
- defense (power mastery on you would not be effective as on an /nrg blaster)
- accuracy is fairly good except against those in personal force field or the likes.
so I would suggest checking sets that give you some bonus there.
For attacks I'm planning crushing impact / thunderstrike. Should get me 28% +acc from just 4 of those sets IIRC.
Endurance shouldnt be a problem when I get the 2 unique +recov IOs... And well, I'm planning to get lots +rechg sets to keep the ranged chain going

I was toying with the herobuilder yesterday planning to use the freespec on my ice/ice blaster... And this is what I came to! Most of the sets will be added later on but some are already there... The 2 slots on health are obviously for the two unique +recovery enhs for when I get my hands on them
