Fire/Ice or Ice/Fire?

I cannot decide... Figured I would ask for an outside opinion. If you had to choose between the two for best damage, which would it be?

Both are good but different.

I have a pure ice and a fire/ice. Fire/ice loses most of the control that double ice has. I don't have anything with a fire secondary, but I would definitely not miss out on the fun of a fire primary if you haven't played it already.

As for best damage, it depends on what button you press when.

Fire/Fire all the way... but since that's not an option I would say Fire/Ice... but I'm obviously partial to fire.

My first toon was an Ice/Fire and I got him to 50 in about 5 or 6 months time. It is very fun. The Ice is a tad controlly and Fire has some nice powers, like Fire Sword Circle and Consume. After that toon I made a Fire/Ice and she's been sitting at 35 for about 3 months now.

I would easily put the nod to fire/ice here. Lots of damage, and great control. Can't go wrong. Rain of fire + shiver is also probably the best use you'll get out of the power, and the slows stack in a large area to keep enemies in place.

Not to mention dropping ice slick on tight mobs then using RoF.

Meh that's not as satisfying, cause its not using the full radius of RoF to its potential, thats more fun when paired with burn. Shiver + RoF doesn't care how spread out the mobs are for the most part though.
