I can't suggest a PvP build for Ice/EM, but I have two comments:
It may be better now, but Defense sucked in PvP because it's so easy to defeat with +Acc and +ToHit. And Ice has only one very slow recharging heal.
Energy Melee on the other hand has only two high-damage powers, and they recharge pretty darn slow and animate slow. During each's 3-second animation and 20-second default recharge time, your foe will have plenty of time to heal and smack you down.
Ice rocks in PvE though. There's a Tanker Guides thread at the top of this forum with some guides in it.
I recently started playing the first character I ever made, and thats an ice/EM tanker. I want to get him to 50 and start slotting him out and maybe try him in pvp. I am wondering if someone can make me a cheap build, around 300-500 mil. One that will keep me alive in pvp but also pve if I try it.
