Dark/ice might be funny, oppressive gloom + ice patch would be some very nice damage mitigation in melee. Also with the buffed frozen aura ice melee could actually do some damage.

Had some changes on that build... hence it's before my morning coffee and I'm sitting on the train to work so I may have to re-check my build when I wake up again... I wasn't sure if you're going IO sets or just "regular enhs" so I built a mix of em... Death Shroud benefits greatly from set IO since you get some nice acc, dmg and end red from it, Freezing Touch also slotted with a set for max hold, tho cannot remember how got it was on my ice tank. Oppressive Gloom also slotted with a set for good acc and some stun effect GIS should be slotted with a set aswell for max benefit... since BU isn't in the build I go with an extra acc enh... really want to hit those baddies once ya fire off yer thingies.
Generally pre-IOs I usually slotted 2x end reds in my toggles, however on DA I felt that adding a 2nd end reducers in most powers wasn't really worth the slot. There might be some endurance concerns since there's no power that gives ya end back, so to ease the pain a bit Conserve Energy might be a good power to take instead of Earth Mastery. Will have a 2nd look at the build once I wake up
