Your DPE will lower running assault but the rest of the team should be cool with it. Also its great taunt and placate res. Tactics can be used for a IO set and give you res to confuse and fear, but when it comes to perception Glacial Armour should be alright, cheaper to run than foc acc and benefits team.
Your survivability can be enough without fight pool but you maybe happier with than without. Some suggestions are best made with an idea on how the rest of your build is or you could try the concept you prefer.
I'd generally not think of looking at leaderships on Ice though.
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
I'm frankenslotting him for maximum regen, just for the fun of it, so that in itself might make my durability high enough to skip fight pool....hmmmmm
Defense is probably the best thing.

I've played a couple of ice tanks to 50 and taken Tough and Weave each time. Granted once I got my defenses softcapped with IO set bonuses the bad guys don't hit often, but when facing defense shredding baddies or high accuracy AVs (or both!) I can tell the difference.
Smashing/lethal being so common, Tough can give you enough time to regroup, Hoarfrost, Hibernate, etc. Without it, if something gets through your defense you take the full brunt of damage.
Just my 2 cents. My latest Ice Tank happens to be Ice/Dark lvl 26 right now, it's a fun combo.

Leadership pool can be useful on a melee character, but the accuracy/damage/defense buffs can be surpassed with io sets, without sacrificing extra survivability.|

Some Ice tanks take tough and weave, as a away to get as close to the cap as possible.
edit, i see the poster above me pointed that out.
