I'll put a vote in for ice/. My ice/fire tank has 42% def with the steadfast 3% IO, combat jumping, and weave, making softcap one Energy Absorbtion away.
A nice thing about that is since the softcap is so easily attainable, you can choose to IO for recharge/recovery. I run perma-hoarfrost, EA every 20 seconds, hibernate whenever you could possibly need it, and since i'm /fire, 7 sec FSC and 5 sec combustions. slow and dmg proc in chilling embrace, proc in icicles, and in all attacks...big ol' walking DOT.
Defense is spiky by nature, but with tough and chilling embrace's dmg debuff, i'm at around 30-35% smash/lethal resist. keybind your "oh crap!" buttons, and it's really hard to take down an icer.
